SPINACH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER TOFU CROQUETTES
When it comes to creating family-friendly vegetarian recipes it's not always easy. Most vegetarian families I talk to say that most of the foods they're offered are loaded with pasta, bread or cheese instead of what they really want and need -- vegetables and nutritious proteins. These croquettes are packed with both of those things plus tons and tons of flavor. The silken tofu (you want to always buy organic) gives them a soft fluffy texture on the inside with a golden crust on the outside. We love dipping them into ketchup, but barbecue sauce or mustard makes a fantastic accompaniment too. Don't settle for ho-hum vegetarian cuisine when you can make something that will get everyone super excited!

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
- Add the bell peppers, spinach, tofu, parsley, mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine well. Shape the mixture into patties, each about the size of a small burger patty.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup flour and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Dredge each side of the tofu croquettes in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the croquettes in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
