Ingredients
default
- 100 gr. tofu
- 1 onion (little)
- 1/2 red pepper
- 1/2 green pepper
- 500 gr. tomato
- 1 teaspoon whole cane sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15 dough wafers for dumplings
Preparation
Step 1
Cut the onion and peppers into very small pieces.
Step 2
In a pan, put the oil to heat and, when it is warm, take the onion and let it poach for about 5 minutes over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the peppers and let them do everything together at medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time.
Step 4
Grate the tofu and add it together with the garlic, thyme and salt. Stir well and also take the tomato and sugar. Let it be done for 10 more minutes over a low heat, stirring regularly.
Step 5
Let the filling cool and, when it is warm, fill the dough with the dumplings. To do this, place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each of the wafers, take one of the ends of the wafer with your hands and fold it in half until it meets the other end, pressing lightly. Then we close them well with the teeth of a fork (with the external face of the fork), pressing until we see that they have been well closed.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 175º for 10 minutes, put the dumplings on a tray with baking paper, varnish them with a little oil, and bake them for 12 minutes, taking care not to burn.
Step 7
We remove the dumplings from the oven and serve.
