Baked creamy spicy tofu is a delicious recipe that also loves those who usually do not like tofu. Olives, Mediterranean spices, fresh and juicy seasonal tomatoes are some of the ingredients that give color and flavor to tofu (organic and top quality).

Tofu is so rich in nutrients, better if organic and from soy not genetically modified.

You can alternate tomatoes with other seasonal vegetables, although I think this remains the winning pair.
