Tofu with Cilantro Chutney. Serves 4

Tofu
2 Tbsp (30 mL) grapeseed oil
14 oz (430 g) package extra-firm tofu, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground coriander
1/2 tsp (2 mL) garam masala (page 7)
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Spanish paprika
salt to taste
1 Tbsp (15 mL) lime juice
Cilantro Chutney
1/2 cup (125 mL) loosely
packed cilantro
3 Tbsp (45 mL) water
1 Tbsp (15 mL) lime juice
1 small green chili, finely chopped
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cardamom

    Instructions

  • Tofu
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu.
  • Sear the tofu, turning until all sides are nicely golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the coriander, garam masala, paprika, salt, and lime juice, stirring to coat, and cook for 30 seconds longer.
  • Serve the tofu warm with cilantro chutney alongside.
  • Cilantro Chutney
  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or mortar and pestle, and process or pound until the cilantro is completely puréed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • I love to cook with tofu. One day I was looking for a quick finger food to make for my girlfriends and I came up with this recipe, which worked beautifully.
