  • Directions

    Check whether green bell peppers will stand on a flat surface; if not, trim bottoms to flatten.

    Drain tofu and pat dry. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork until similar to ground beef in texture.

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mashed tofu, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cook and stir until tofu is golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

    Mix 2 1/2 cups water and jambalaya rice mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the tofu mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


    The directions for making jambalaya mix are based on the particular brand mentioned. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand.
