SPINACH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER TOFU CROQUETTES
When it comes to creating family-friendly vegetarian recipes it's not always easy. Most vegetarian families I talk to say that most of the foods they're offered are loaded with pasta, bread or cheese instead of what they really want and need -- vegetables and nutritious proteins. These croquettes are packed with both of those things plus tons and tons of flavor. The silken tofu (you want to always buy organic) gives them a soft fluffy texture on the inside with a golden crust on the outside. We love dipping them into ketchup, but barbecue sauce or mustard makes a fantastic accompaniment too. Don't settle for ho-hum vegetarian cuisine when you can make something that will get everyone super excited!

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
- Add the bell peppers, spinach, tofu, parsley, mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine well. Shape the mixture into patties, each about the size of a small burger patty.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup flour and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Dredge each side of the tofu croquettes in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the croquettes in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Steps:
- Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.

TOFU AND PEPPERS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Our spicy peanut sauce is inspired by the one used in satay, a common Indonesian dish. The sauce is a perfect accompaniment to the mild-flavored tofu.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice each tofu cake crosswise into 6 rectangles.
