I made this a few nights ago and it was really amazing 🤩. The stew is rich and hearty with the sweetness of red bell pepper, the earthiness of mushrooms, and the creaminess of chickpeas, all simmered in a tomato-based broth. The grilled tofu adds a smoky, crispy texture that perfectly complements the stew. It's a simple yet satisfying dish that's packed with flavor and high in protein.

Heat 1 tsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until the garlic is slightly browned and fragrant.
Add the chopped leek and cook until just softened. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and red bell pepper, cooking and stirring constantly until the vegetables are tender.
Add the chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, and tomato passata. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the dissolved vegetable stock. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 20 minutes until the stew thickens.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the tofu slices and cook until browned on one side.
Flip the tofu slices and cook until both sides are equally browned and crispy.
Plate the thickened chickpea stew and top with the grilled tofu slices. Serve and enjoy!

For extra flavor, marinate the tofu in soy sauce and garlic before grilling.
You can substitute the red bell pepper with yellow or orange bell pepper for a slightly different sweetness.
If you prefer a spicier stew, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper along with the paprika.
Can I use canned chickpeas instead of unsalted chickpeas?
Yes, you can use regular canned chickpeas. Just rinse them thoroughly to remove excess salt.
What can I use instead of tofu?

Can I make this stew ahead of time?
Yes, the stew can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently on the stove before serving.
What can I serve with this dish?
You can serve it with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a more filling meal.
