Tofu and Sweet Potato Curry

This is as luscious-tasting as it is nourishing.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 large or 3 medium sweet potatoes
1 pound firm tofu, well drained and diced
One 14- to 16-ounce can low-sodium stewed tomatoes, chopped, with liquid
1 to 2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder, or to taste
4 ounces arugula or baby spinach, well rinsed
Salt to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes in their skins until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into large dice.

    Step 2

    Combine the tofu, tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon of the curry powder in a stir-fry pan or wide skillet. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add the diced sweet potato and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

    Step 4

    Add the arugula, cover, and cook very briefly, just until it wilts slightly. Taste and season with more curry if desired. Season with salt and serve.
