Tofu Curry with Greens
Ingredients
  • 2-14 oz packs of extra firm or firm tofu, cut into ½" cubes
  • 1 tbsp grapeseed oil
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 2 cups of chopped onions
  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp ground cardamon
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 28 oz canned tomatoes in juice
  • 2 heaping tbsp organic chunky peanut butter
  • 2 cups of vegetable stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup of low fat coconut milk
  • 1 green & 1 red pepper, totally 3 cups, chopped
  • 1½ cups of chopped carrots (we don't peel)
  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic (4 cloves)
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • ¾ tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 9 cups mixed greens, we used kale, swiss chard, and beet greens
  • ¼ cup of fresh chopped parsley or cilantro (we have cilantro haters in our house, but I dream of using it)
  • Possible additions: 1 tbsp of peanuts per bowl and Siracha for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400
  2. Place tofu in a bowl and drizzle oil (amount can be reduced, you decide what it looks like, but helps prevent sticking while roasting) and sprinkle ½ tsp of salt and ground ginger over. Toss to coat
  3. Place on baking sheet (we use a stoneware pan)
  4. Roast for about 20 -25 mins, until tofu is firm, tossing half way through
  5. While tofu is cooking, add mustard seeds to pan and dry saute for about 2 minutes.
  6. Add onions & 2 tbsp water until they've softened, adding more water if necessary. Add in peppers and carrots, peanut butter, tomatoes, stock, coconut milk, and reamining seasonings except ginger, garlic, greens, and fresh herbs. Simmer until carrots have softened about 15 minutes.
  7. Add in tofu, garlic, ginger, and greens. You will have to stir greens in in batches. Stir until wilted.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, peanuts, and Siracha if desired
