List of Ingredients

1 lb firm tofu, drained, frozen and thawed
1 1/2 tsp canola oil
2/3 c chopped onions
2/3 c chopped green peppers
1/3 c thinly sliced celery
1(16-oz) can reduced-sodium tomato sauce
4 tsp cider vinegar
2 1/2 tsp mustard
3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp sugar
salt and ground black pepper
4 whole-wheat or multi-grain buns


Recipe

Set the tofu between 2 plates and place a heavy pot on top. Set aside for 10 minutes to release excess water. Pat dry. Coarsely mash or crumble the tofu with a fork. In a medium no-stick skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the tofu, onions, green peppers and celery. Saute for 8 minutes, or until the tofu is well-browned and the vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomatoe sauce, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Season to taste with the salt and black pepper. Mound equal amounts of the mixture onto the buns. Makes 4 servings.
