- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu
- 1 large delicata squash, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
- 8 cups kale, mustard greens or chard; coarsely chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Combine curry powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Pat tofu dry with a paper towel, and cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss tofu in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of curry mixture.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium- high heat. Add tofu and cook, stirring every 2 minutes until browned, 6–8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add squash, onion, ginger and remaining spice mixture; cook, stirring, until vegetables are lightly browned, 4–5 minutes.
Add coconut milk; bring to a boil. Add greens and cook, stirring until slightly wilted, about 1 minute.
Return tofu to the pan; add garbanzos. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until squash and greens are tender, 3–5 minutes.
Remove from heat, and stir in cilantro. Serve over rice, quinoa, barley or any cooked grain you like.
