Grate the smoked tofu with a suitable grater and prepare.
Dice onions
Finely dice the onions.
Chop the garlic very finely – do not put it through the garlic press!
Otherwise it would become bitter!

Sauté the onions with 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan.
Add the chilli and garlic and sweat it.

When the onion cubes are glassy, add the grated tofu to the pot and fry at high heat for 3-5 minutes.

Then add the diced peppers and fry for another 3 minutes.
Wash off canned ingredients
Put 1 tin of corn and 1 tin of kidney beans in a sieve.
Rinse very briefly with cold water.

Add the beans and corn to the frying pan, add the strained canned tomatoes.
Finish stew
Pour in the vegetable stock.

Note Soy chopped: I have not yet found a 100% convincing product, I prefer to stick to the smoked tofu, the taste is excellent!
