In a skillet brown tofu with one Tbsp peanut oil. Stir often to make sure that all sides are nicely brown. Set aside.

Now saute the onion on the rest of the oil until slightly soft. Add celery and carrot and sweat for a few minute Add tofu, mushrooms, vegetable stock, red wine and mix in some tomato paste. Grate garlic and add to the stew. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and continue cooking for 15 minute.

After 15 min add shallots and continue cooking for another 15 minute.

At the end whisk in some cornstarch mixed with cold water and leave simmering for 2-3 min more. Serve with mashed potatoes.
