Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package (14 ounces) firm or extra-firm tofu, drained well
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon curry powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 box (10 ounces) frozen cut green beans, thawed
4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Halve tofu horizontally and then crosswise to make 4 rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 2 triangles. Press tofu as directed on page 111.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu, turning once, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon oil, onion, and curry powder. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add half-and-half and 1/2 cup water; bring to a gentle simmer. Add tofu and green beans. Cover; cook until beans are bright green, about 2 minutes. Uncover; add tomatoes. Cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Use a firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and not crumble when cooking.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the tofu or vegetables. Tofu should be cooked until it is heated through but still slightly firm. Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Serve the curry with rice, naan, or roti. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Curried tofu and green beans is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan dish. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be served with a variety of sides. This dish is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
