Classic Cape Verdean Braised Tofu Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, tomato, paprika, coriander, cumin, lemon juice, parsley.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until braised.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Cape Verdean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Cape Verdean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
