BBQ Tofu Pizza

It’s the last Friday of summer and I’m brainstorming what I’ll share with you this week. How can I not share with you a recipe that’s a fun, quick, and tasty weekday dinner idea. And, it makes a great packed lunch too.

For dinner, pair it with a salad or raw veggies and dip. Hint: it’s perfect for meatless Mondays.

Have everyone in the family pitch in to make their own individual pizzas. And, make a second pizza for leftover lunch the next day. It’s that easy. Enjoy!

Ingredients (per person*)

1                      whole-wheat pita bread

2 TBSP          barbecue sauce

50 grams      firm or extra firm tofu, crumbled

¼ medium    red bell pepper, diced

15 grams      partially skim mozzarella cheese, grated

*Double the amounts to make a leftover pizza for tomorrow’s lunch)

Directions

1.    Preheat oven to 375°F.

2.    In a bowl, mix together 1 TBSP of the BBQ sauce and crumbled tofu. Set aside for about 10 - 15 minutes to marinate and allow the tofu to soak up the BBQ flavour.

3.    Spread the remaining BBQ sauce evenly over the pita bread.

4.    Sprinkle half of the cheese over the sauce.

5.    Distribute the tofu and the peppers evenly over the cheese.

6.    Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pizza.

7.    Bake just long enough for the cheese to melt.
