Peri Peri Tofu, a Mozambique recipe

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Press the tofu to remove excess water - this helps when frying. Slice into two-inch pieces that are half an inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Let's get the rice and corn boiling. Rinse the rice, and get it cooking in a rice cooker, or in a pot of water. Start to boil some salted water and add the corn. Once these are going, keep an eye on them.

  3. Step 3

    Add the oil to a large pan and heat on high. Fry tofu on top and bottom for one-two minutes on each side until golden.

  4. Step 4

    Peel the onion and garlic, cut the onion into four. Add with all the remaining ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Place the tofu and sauce in a pot and heat on high. Once it starts to simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for around fifteen minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your liking, stirring occasionally to prevent the tofu from sticking.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the tofu & sauce on a bed of rice, and garnish with some corn on the side.
