In a medium skillet with a cover, heat the oil. Saute the onion and green
pepper until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 2 minutes longer. Mix in
the peanut butter, tomatoes, sugar, cinnamon, thyme, allspice, and pepper
flakes. Stir in the stock and mix until all the ingredients are well
blended and the peanut butter is completely dissolved. Blend in the lemon
juice.

Mix the tofu into the peanut mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and
simmer the stew until the sauce is thick, about 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally to prevent sticking. Serve accompanied by cooked rice. This
dish keeps 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Adjust the seasoning after
reheating.
