Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the buckwheat groats, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the buckwheat is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the cooked buckwheat, soy sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Wash the green bell peppers, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Arrange the pepper halves in a baking dish. Spoon the tofu and buckwheat mixture into each pepper half, pressing down gently to fill them completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly browned on top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the baked green peppers hot and enjoy!
