Instructions

METHOD:

1. 1. Set your oven to 220 degrees
2. 2. On a lined baking tray toss your Tofu with 1/2 tbls of Olive Oil and 1/4 tsp of Salt. Spread out in a single layer and bake for 30 min till golden and crisp – tossing half way through.
3. 3. In a large saucepan over medium heat fry the Mustard Seeds in the remaining Olive Oil till starting to pop 1 to 2 min. Add the Onion and cook till soft and starting to colour 5 min. Stir in the Ginger, Garlic spices and remaining Salt and cook for a further minute till fragrant.
4. 4. Add the Tomatoes and Peanut Butter stir till combined and then mix in the stock. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer cooking uncovered for 10 mins or so till it is a rich sauce. (I let the curry simmer till the tofu is done baking).
5. 5. Stir in the Tofu and Spinach and cook for a couple more minutes till Spinach has wilted and Tofu slightly softened for 2 min. Taste and season with additional Salt & Pepper, if desired.
6. 6. Serve topped with Fresh Coriander and alongside some steamed Rice or Flat Bread.
