Begin by dicing up the red bell pepper, green onions, and carrots. I always purchase grated carrots in a bag to toss into other dishes. It makes it so much faster with recipes like this too. I highly recommend keeping them on hand.
Next, if you’re using canned beans, drain the liquid from them and rinse in a colander. This will remove a lot of the preservatives and salt. Even better yet, cook your own beans from scratch.
The bulgur needs to be cooked first, which only takes about 10-minutes on the stovetop or about 5-minutes in the microwave. I like to make large batches of bulgur in my rice cooker and keep it in the freezer to easily add to recipes like this.
The tofu will need to be drained and pressed before using. The tofu will need to be drained and pressed before using. I have a terrific tofu press that I highly recommend; I love it!
In a large skillet or pot, add the veggie broth, onions, carrots, and bell peppers. Saute for about 3-minutes.
Crumble in the tofu, beans, cooked bulgur, and all the seasonings. Stir to incorporate well. If needed, add a little more veggie broth to keep it from sticking.
Continue to cook for about 3 more minutes to allow the ingredients and seasonings to marry up a bit.
Serve warm alone or with toast and fresh fruit.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.
Gluten-free option- One of the main ingredients in this recipe is a deliciously healthy and filling wheat grain called bulgur. It is optional, so you can leave it out, but it adds a lot of flavor and texture, so I recommend including it. However, to make this recipe gluten-free, you'll want to omit it or use buckwheat groats instead.
Tofu- This recipe calls for firm or extra firm cold water-packed tofu because we want the texture to be denser than silken tofu can offer. Freezing the tofu ahead of time and allowing it to thaw gives it a much firmer texture that is great for crumbling or even for skewering with vegetable kabobs. Freezing is not required for this recipe, but I highly recommend keeping some tofu in your freezer for recipes like this and others.
Veggie options- This is such a versatile recipe, you really can use any veggies you like. Some other great ones are spinach, mushrooms, potatoes, zucchini, squash, and anything else you prefer.
Storage- The leftovers stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days and reheat well. Sometimes we reserve any leftovers by wrapping them up in a tortilla for a healthy Breakfast Burrito.
