A daunting and different recipe that is accompanied by great reward and satisfaction. This spicy tofu transforms meat-eaters into vegetarians without a thought. The texture of tofu adds to the softness of the cooked vegetables and rice to present a most flavorful dish. Asian and Mediterranean flavors pull themselves together to create a truly wonderful flavor in this vegetarian plate. The addition of jalapeño and our Taste of Morocco seasoning blend combine to give zesty and hot flavor. If it wasn’t perfect, we’d tell you.
