About the Recipe
This recipe truly shows how versatile tofu can be! It takes on the East-African flavours of piri piri spice so well. Who says gut healthy and plant passed food is boring!

Tofu provides all of the much needed essential amino acids and though there are different schools of thoughts on soya and FODMAP it can provide much needed micro-nutrients such as manganese, calcium and selenium depending on how it is set (calcium or nigiri).
