2 (12 ounce) packages extra firm tofu (not silken)
2 medium onions or 2 large onions, chopped
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled & minced
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (cheap stuff is fine)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (not chunky)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained
chopped fresh cilantro (optional) or chopped fresh basil (optional)

1
Drain the tofu and press it for at least 15 minutes.
2
Cut the tofu into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Sautee the tofu cubes in the peanut oil until it has browned a little on each side, or until it's as crispy as you like it. Personally, I like it pretty crispy.
3
Add the minced onions, garlic & ginger, and saute until the onions are translucent.
4
Add the spaghetti sauce and tomato paste, and mix well. Stir in the chickpeas, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
5
Now stir in the peanut butter. It will melt and be easy to mix in with sauce.
6
Serve over rice with optional chopped scallions &/or cilantro as a garnish.
