Yid.Dish: Scrambled Tofu with Leeks and Greens
1 lb extra firm tofu
1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp curry powder
3 big handfuls spinach leaves, stemmed
½ tsp fine grain sea salt, plus more if needed
Drain any water from the tofu and press it between a couple of paper towels to release excess moisture, then crumble into smaller pieces.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and onion and sauté for just a few minutes until they soften up. Stir in the curry powder and then the tofu. Cover and cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until the tofu is thoroughly heated. Add the spinach and stir for a minute or so, until it wilts and collapses, then stir in the salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning with either more curry powder or salt.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
