Tofu, snake bean and mushroom stir fry with roasted capsicum sauce

DSC_0026

After a big week it’s always good to sit down to a nice meal. Picked up some awesome capsicums from the markets today, they were massive! And they inspired me to make a roasted capsicum sauce which is now my favourite, I think.

So easy to make, just heat up the oven to 210C

Ingredients:

4 large capsicums deseeded, quartered

4 large tomatoes kept whole

2 onions, peeled and halved

6 cloves of garlic kept in skin

squirt of vegetable oil

salt

And roast for around 30-40 minutes until they’re showing a good amount of colour. Take them out of the oven and straight into a food processor with the tomatoes, capsicums, onion and the flesh of the garlic and whizz until smooth.

While that was in the oven, I started on my stir fry and for that I used:

splash of vegetable oil

250g firm tofu

10 thai chillies

8 cremini mushrooms

large handful oyster mushrooms

4 snake beans

salt

I cut the tofu into quite small cubes and fried until golden in the oil, then added my chillies that I chopped very finely and my mushrooms and snake beans which I cooked until tender. Super easy and so yum!

Served with somen noodles which are quite light.

I know these flavours don’t normally go together, but trust me it works. That sauce could honestly go with anything ❤
