One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

coconut tofu curry with spinach & tomato

I needed a tofu recipe & was in the mood for curry, coconut milk & using up fresh veggies from the CSA farm. I adapted the recipe from this one. no picture of the actual dish, sorry. but it sure was pretty. and tasty.

  • 14 oz. coconut milk
  • 1TB red curry paste
  • 1 TB curry powder
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • small scoop minced garlic (1 tsp? I don't measure garlic)
  • 14 ounces extra firm tofu
  • olive oil
  • 1/4lb fresh spinach, washed (duh) & chopped
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/2 onion, minced (I used vidalia)

1. Drain tofu, cut into little cubes & pat dry with papertowel. In large skillet (I used this one), heat oil over medium heat. Cook tofu in a single layer without stirring about 5 minutes or until slightly browned on bottom. Stir gently. Then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thouroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
2. While tofu is cooking, be your own little soux chef & mix curry paste, curry powder, soy sauce, and garlic.
3. Add onion & cook for a few minutes until onions are translucent.
4. Add coconut milk, tomato & spinach & and mix from #2 above. cook, stirring, until veggies are warmed & spinach is barely wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
5. serve over rice & with warm naan. add salt & pepper to taste!
