Tofu Curry

Last night, at 8 o'clock, I decided to cook dinner. My fridge was almost empty, and my car is at the shop, so no chance of going grocery shopping... mmmm....what do I have? Tofu, a loooot of spices, onions, garlic...

ONE

1 block firm tofu

___________________

TWO

1 tsp olive oil

2 onions, chopped

Salt

___________________

THREE

1 tsp cinnamon

1 bay leave

___________________

FOUR

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1tsp paprika

3 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp white sugar

___________________

half a lemon, juiced

Pre-Heat oven at 400F

Drain tofu and place on a dish. Place a dish on top and put weight on it to make it drain more of the liquid. Cut in medium-sized pieces and place in a lightly oiled baking sheet. Cook until golden.

In a sauce pan, sauté onions (add salt to taste), covered, in olive oil until translucent. Add spices in THREE and a little water. Add spices in FOUR and a little more water, to form a paste. Add tofu and water to cover. Add salt to taste. Taste for spiciness. If too spicy, pour some fat-free milk in it. Serve with brown rice.

Not bad at all! Today, I'll add a half red bell pepper, a zucchini, and carrots that I found in the fridge and will cook till tender. I think that will add more flavor and color. I'm all about color in my food :)
