Ingredients

14 ounces extra-firm tofu, preferably water-packed
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms, (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons prepared pesto

Step 2
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tofu and cook in a single layer, without stirring, until the pieces begin to turn golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Then gently stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes more.
Step 3
Add tomatoes and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in pesto and feta.

Good!I added in 3 garlic cloves and crumbled the tofu. I love tofu but I don't love it in large chunks. I also cooked the tomato/mushrooms a few minutes longer and served it with pasta. I will make this again soon!Pros: Good flavors, cheap, fast and easy!Cons: None.
