Tofu Agrodolce (Italian Sweet & Sour)

“Agrodolce” is the Italian Sweet and Sour (“Agro”- Sour, “Dolce”- Sweet) but is a much subtler dish than the Chinese version, the gloopy dish which I’ve experienced in rather inauthentic Chinese restaurants anyway. Its sweetness comes from the tomatoes and red onions, enhanced only a little by a touch of sugar, and is complemented wonderfully by the briny olives and slight tang from the vinegar.
