The dish is easy to make, though it may take a bit of time and effort - but the end result is worth it!

5.Mix in the tomato paste and 1/2 cup of red wine. Add enough vegetable stock to cover the vegetables in the pot and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes.
6.Add the oven-baked tofu to the pot and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Serve hot with crusty bread or boiled potatoes. Enjoy!
