Grilled Curry Tofu w/ Mixed Greens


Very quick and satisfying recipe, cost about 5 dollars

Ingredients:

Curry Tofu
Tofu (frozen and thawed)
Trader Joe's Coconut Curry Sauce (or any curry sauce you like)
Curry Powder and Turmeric (these are optional I just used them cause I had them)
Red and yellow Peppers (diced)
Onions
Salt and Pepper to taste
2tsp of oil


For the Salad
mixed greens
light dressing (I used light Trader Joe's Champagne Dressing)
dried cranberries (optional)

Directions:

1. Place your oil in a skillet and put on med heat.
2. After your tofu is frozen and thawed, cut your desire amount and simply squeeze the excess water out with your clean bare hands. Then dice the tofu into bite sized chunks
3. Once the oil is heated add your onions, peppers and any other spices that you like.
4. Add your tofu to the mix once the onions and peppers get soft (they do not need to be completely sauteed)
5. Add more oil if needed to aid in the browning of your tofu. You want to get a nice crust on the outside so let them stay on one side for about 3 minuets then turn over.
6. While you're waiting for your tofu to cook rinse off your greens and mix them and the cranberries in a bowl. You can add your dressing right before you add your tofu on top.
7. Once both sides of the tofu are brown add the curry sauce. You only need enough to cover your tofu so that it can absorb the moisture. Let the curry and tofu marinate for about 4 minuets.
8. Add your dressing to the greens and place your tofu on top. Yum Yum.
