Classic Brazilian Pan-Fried Tofu Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, tomato, paprika, black pepper, salt, bell pepper, garlic.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Brazilian 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 Brazilian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
