Smoked Tofu and Curried New Potatoes

Smoked tofu is more robust and flavoursome than plain tofu so it makes a great meat substitute in dishes. This Smoked Tofu and Curried New Potatoes dish is no exception.

Serves 2 as a generous main or 4 as a light main meal served with a side of salad

Ingredients

• 500g new potatoes
• 1 ½ tsp mustard seeds
• 1 ½ tsp coriander seeds

• 1 red onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 heaped tsp turmeric
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 2 handfuls fresh spinach (optional)
• 1 x 200g pack smoked tofu with sesame

Method

1. Cook the new potatoes until tender. Whilst they are cooking, toast the mustard and coriander seeds gently in a dry pan and set aside.
2. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and set aside.
3. In a shallow pan fry the tofu until crisp, remove from the pan then heat the oil and fry the onion until softened.
