Ingredients
-
1 cup uncooked brown rice
-
2 cups water
-
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and diced

1 ¾ cups marinara sauce, divided

Directions
-
Place rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes, or until tender.
-
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in garlic and tofu. Cook about 5 minutes. Mix in 1/4 cup marinara sauce, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook and stir until tofu is evenly brown.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, press an equal amount of rice into each pepper half. Layer rice with remaining marinara sauce, and 1/2 the cheese. Press equal amounts of tofu into the pepper halves. Place 1 tomato slice on each pepper, and top peppers with remaining mozzarella. Arrange stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted. Serve 1/2 of each color pepper to each person.
