How to Make Tofu Dorowat

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1/2 medium white onion (finely chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the tomato mixture and 14 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu, crumbled or cubed, to the skillet.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. Uncover the skillet, add the remaining 1/2 cup dry red wine, and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot over injera bread.
