COCONUT RED CURRY WITH TOFU



Coconut Red Curry With Tofu image

This simple weeknight red curry relies on jarred or canned red curry paste for flavor, which you can find at larger supermarkets and specialty markets. Transfer leftover canned curry paste to a jar, top it with a little oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a month. Or freeze for longer storage. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the mushrooms and snow peas, though you might have to increase the cooking time slightly if using something dense like carrot or cubed winter squash.

CURRIED TOFU AND GREEN BEANS



Curried Tofu and Green Beans image

This a recipe I made from the April issue of Everyday Food. I am always looking for new tofu recipes and we love curry. I am posting it as it appeared but I made the following changes: I substituted coconut milk for the half and half, used 1 pound fresh green beans that I parboiled and a 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes with the liquid and omitted the water. This was quick and tasty and tasted great reheated the next day for lunch.
