Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and roast over medium-high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the green beans, celery and russet potatoes, cooking until softened, about 8 minutes.

Stir in the black pepper, smoked paprika, brown sugar and cheddar cheese for 4 minutes.

Cook the grits separately according to package directions.

Let the tofu simmer for about 18 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the grits, garnished with fresh herbs.
