Tofu Bowl

Submitted by Concoctionista

"One of my favorite lunch items. I make a large pot of this on sunday and eat it for lunch throughout the week. I like to use whatever fresh vegetables that I have on hand or from the garden. The tofu and lentils add protein and staying power."

this is ok - just a little bland (although that may be my fault because i have no idea what herbes de provence are...so i omitted that) - i had to keep adding lots of water too (more than 2 whole cups more), and mine was cooked in less than 45 minutes (more accurately-overcooked). should the lid be on the pot while this is cooking? i did put some vegetaqble broth in place of some of the additional water i had to add, i think that helped the flavor a bit as well. ***** UPDATE ***** MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU ADD A LITTLE CHEDDAR CHEESE ON TOP *****
