  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 Hungarian wax peppers or 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 14 oz/400 g smoked tofu, shredded
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp paprika paste
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups/400 g cooked rice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tsp marjoram
  • hot sauce (optional)
  • 5 cups/750 g sauerkraut
  • 3 cups vegan sour cream (see notes below)
  • salt, pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat up oil in a large pan. Add diced onion and peppers, and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies are translucent.
  2. Add garlic and shredded tofu, and keep on cooking for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu gets crispy on some spots.
  3. Add tomato and paprika paste, paprika powder, and smoked paprika, and cook for another minute. Keep an eye on the paprika powder, since it can burn very quickly.
  4. Mix in cooked rice, soy sauce, mustard, marjoram, and hot sauce, if using. Taste, and season with salt and pepper. If mixture is too dry, add a few tablespoons of water (or red wine), if you like.
  5. To assemble the casserole add 1/3 of the sauerkraut to the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with 1/3 of the vegan sour cream and half of the rice-tofu mixture.
  6. Add 1/3 of the sauerkraut, 1/3 sour cream, and the rest of the rice-tofu mixture again. 
  7. Finish with the rest of the sauerkraut and the sour cream on top.
  8. Bake casserole at 360°F/180°C for 30-40 minutes, or until top is lightly browned. Enjoy!
