Preparation

Drain tofu and press liquid out by placing tofu between layers of paper towels with a heavy object on top—stacked dishes, heavy books, heavy cutting board, etc.

Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and peppers and saute for another 5 minutes.

Crumble tofu and add to pot. Add all the spices to the pot. Saute tofu in spices for another 5 minutes. Add beans and tomatoes, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about an hour, allowing flavors to meld together.
