Pepper & Veggie Stir-Fry

Here’s another easy one-dish meal using a common vegetable that is often overlooked…the bell pepper. A bell pepper is loaded with vitamins A, B, and C and tastes wonderful. Serve this dish over rice or pasta.

Serves 3 to 4

• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 1/2 pound tofu, diced into 1-inch cubes
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 green bell peppers, cored and julienned
• 2 red bell peppers, cored and julienned
• 4 whole green onions, chopped
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 pound mushrooms, washed and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat the peanut oil in a frying pan and add the tofu and garlic. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and green onions and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir-fry the mixture another 4 minutes.
