Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup red wine
1 x onion chopped
6 x Cloves garlic pressed (or more, if you love garlic)
1 can tomatoes with green chilis (10 oz)
(Ro-Tel)
1 can tomatoes (28 oz)
1/2 cup red wine
2 tsp oregano (or more)
2 tsp basil (or more)
2 tsp rosemary (or more)
2 x bay leaves
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup dry TVP granules
4 oz lowfat tofu (see NOTE)
freshly ground pepper to taste
salt to taste
Instructions:
Instructions: NOTE: I froze the tofu first, then thawed it, squeezed it dry, then crumbled it into the sauce.

Saute onion and garlic in 1/2 C red wine over high heat until wine has evaporated (dont get it too dry or it will burn). Add tomatoes, another 1/2 C red wine, oregano, basil, rosemary and sugar. Stir together, reduce heat to medium, and taste. Adjust seasonings. Bring to a boil.

Sauce should be pretty soupy; add TVP (no, I did not pre-soak TVP).

Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Let cook for about 10 minutes, or until TVP has become soft. Add crumbled tofu. Heat through, then serve!

One more note - go easy on the sugar. A little goes a long way - I started out using 2 teaspoons of sugar, then added an additional teaspoon

(3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon). The sugar adds a great deal to the balance of the sauce.
