Tamale Pie
Tamale Pie
½ C. Chopped Onion
½ to 1 block firm tofu (about 8 to 14 oz)
1 6.5 oz can olives
1 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes (include juice)
1 15 oz can corn (include juice)
1 ¼ C. corn meal
1 C. sour cream
Chili pepper, cumin, salt and pepper to taste
1 C. grated mozzarella cheese
Cut tofu into small cubes about 1/3” square. Sautee onions and tofu cubes in olive oil using deep skillet (at least 2 ½ to 3” deep). Chop stewed tomatoes into small pieces. Add corn and tomatoes, including juice from both. Add drained, chopped olives. Mix in sour cream and corn meal. Corn meal can vary in absorbency…so the measurement is approximate. Top with grated cheese. Simmer covered on stove for about 30 minutes. Make sure it is low heat or the bottom will burn. Serve topped with sour cream, salsa, and tortilla chips on the side.
If you’re scared by tofu, you could substitute chicken, but honestly,…I prefer the tofu. Also, I make this a lot, and hardly ever have mozzarella so I use cheddar, pepper jack, or whatever I have. It is still good. Even my husband who doesn't like tomatoes, tofu, or olives likes it. It’s fast, easy, and makes a lot. Serves 6-8.

It's really good!
(I might skip the olives, but even with the olives it's still good!)
Paul liked it to.
(I may have neglected to tell him about the tofu...)
