Tofu Scramble in Curry Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 1-2 blocks Moonbeans tofu
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 1 large can of tomatoes (whole tomatoes are best)
- Curry spices, e.g., ginger, coriander, cumin, cayenne, or a blend (whatever you have on hand)
- Salt
- Herbs for garnish - e.g., cilantro, basil, or parsley (optional)
- Lemon juice or lemon for finishing (optional)
Preparation
- Remove tofu from packaging and pat dry.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Chop the red onion and add it to the pan with a pinch of salt. Cook until the onion is soft, 7-10 minutes.
- Add spices and toast for 1-2 minutes. If the mixture looks dry, add a bit more olive oil. If things are starting to burn, add a tablespoon or two of water.
- Add the can of tomatoes. Crush tomatoes with the back of a spoon or a masher. Cook sauce all together for 8-10 minutes.
- Add tofu by breaking off irregular pieces. Stir into the sauce. Cook for 5 minutes to bring together the flavors.
- Finishing: add a bit more olive oil and any herbs for garnish. Squeeze some lemon over the top.
Additions
- Make it even more authentically Indian by adding cream, and using ghee instead of olive oil.
