When I’m craving something stew-like, I love to make veggie ratatouille. Topping it with tofu gives the meal more substance, and I often buy baked tofu that’s already marinated. This dish pairs particularly well with a sesame-ginger-flavored tofu.
Serves 4
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 yellow onions, halved and sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 zucchini
3 small Italian eggplants
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon sage
Baked tofu
1) Slice the eggplant and zucchini so that the slices are about ¼ inch thick. If the slices of eggplant start to get large, cut them in half.
2) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes.
3) Add the garlic, zucchini and eggplant and sauté another 5 minutes.
4) Add the diced tomatoes with the juice, and the salt, pepper, thyme and sage. Stir to combine. When the juice starts to bubble, turn the heat to medium-low and cover. Let the vegetables cook for another 7 minutes, or until the zucchini and eggplant are tender.
5) Serve with baked tofu on top.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
