Method:
In a large pot, sauté onions and garlic and salt in the oil on a med-high heat until onions become translucent. Add tomato juice, tofu, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and beans. Stir gently.
Add basil, oregano, cayenne pepper and rice. Stir gently. Add a little water if you think there is not enough to cook the rice.

Cover with lid and bring to boil, and then reduce heat to simmer for approx. 25 mins or until rice is cooked.  Add fresh tomatoes and olives. Stir and cover and let simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with fork before serving.
