Ingredients

  • 300g pack firm Bean Supreme tofu
  • 2 capsicums (1 green and 1 red), halved, cored, seeds removed
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled
  • 2 stalks celery, with leaves
  • 3 tbs olive oil
  • 1 large onion, peeled, finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed
  • 4 tsp smokey paprika
  • 400g can peeled tomatoes
  • 2 Reduced Salt vegetable stock cubes, made up to 1L with boiling water
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm pieces
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Handful flat-leaf parsley (to garnish)
  • Green goddess dressing:
  • ½ cup (packed) coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  • 20 leaves fresh basil, approximately ¼ cup
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped dill
  • 3 spring onions, coarsely chopped (whites and greens)
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 ½ tbs red wine vinegar (or more, to taste)
  • 3 tbs Greek yogurt

Method

  1. Step 1

    Cut the tofu into 2cm cubes. Chop the capsicum, carrot and celery stick into bite-sized chunks and shred the celery leaves. Set aside.
  2. Step 2

    Heat a large frying pan on a medium heat. Heat the oil, then add the onion and garlic. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then add the tofu, paprika and season to taste. Stir well so that the tofu is coated with the paprika. Add the chopped vegetables and the canned tomatoes. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Then add the potatoes and vegetable stock and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Step 3

    Serve hot sprinkled with flat-leaf parsley and toasted pita breads or couscous, and green goddess dressing.
  4. Step 4

    To make the green dressing, place the herbs and spring onion in a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade.  Process until very, very finely minced. Add oil and vinegar.  Process for just a few seconds longer, then transfer to a bowl or container. Stir in yogurt, and season to taste.  Taste to adjust vinegar, then whisk until uniformly blended. Cover tightly and chill until use.

Tips

  • Traditional goulash is like thick rustic soup, but if you prefer a thicker stew, double the quantity of potatoes and add them at the same time as the other vegetables.
  • If you freeze the tofu for at least one day to change the texture and make it suitable for lengthy cooking.
  • Can be enjoyed with or without the dressing
