I used to not like tofu since it has not much taste but it can taste amazing in combination with other ingredients. So far this is my favorite tofu recipe and works great in sandwiches.

Heat olive oil (or 1 tbsp of water) in a frying pan and fry/ poach the onion until translucent. Add bell pepper and cherry tomatoes and keep cooking for approx. 3-4 minutes, or until softened. If you want to cook everything in the pan, then you can add the tofu mixture to the pan and keep cooking for another 10 min. If you prefer to bake it, then you can add the poached onion and veggies to the tofu mixture, mix well and pour everything in a baking tray. Heat up oven at 175°C and bake tofu for 15-20min or until golden.
