Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.While pan heats, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season with salt and pepper.Add tofu and half the Cream Sauce Spice Blend to a shallow dish, then toss to coat.When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Sear, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. Transfer tofu to a plate. Spoon 1 tbsp BBQ sauce over each tofu steak. Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, core, then cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers!)Add peppers and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Broil peppers in the middle of the oven, until peppers are lightly charred, 5-7 min.
Meanwhile, heat the same pan (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil then mirepoix. Cook, stirring often, until golden and beginning to soften, 1-2 min. Sprinkle remaining Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top, then stir to coat.Add beans along with liquid, stock powder, tomato sauce base, remaining BBQ sauce, 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-4 min.
Stir peppers into the pan with beans. Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch-wide slices lengthwise.Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave, 30 sec.
Discard aluminum foil, then arrange ciabatta slices on the same baking sheet used to broil peppers. Spoon melted butter over ciabatta slices. Season with salt and pepper.Broil in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on toasties so they don't burn!)
Meanwhile, add spinach to the pan with beans. Stir until spinach wilts, 30 sec.Thinly slice tofu.Divide beans and tofu between bowls.Serve toasties alongside for dipping.
