Here's one I enjoy - If you like curries, you may, too.
It's just a basic one, easy to make. You can always add different
ingredients to it like mushrooms, carrots, or sweet peppers, etc.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (about 2 slices)
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 2 stalks fresh lemon grass (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • dash red pepper flakes (adjust amount to your heat level)
  • 1 block tofu, drained and sliced into approx 1 inch squares
  • 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
  • 14 oz coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
Preparation:

In a blender or food processor, process the ginger, garlic, onion and lemon grass until smooth, adding a bit of olive oil if needed. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the blended garlic mixture. Sauté this mixture for 1-3 minutes, then add the tofu and red pepper flakes, stirring gently to mix the tofu with the garlic mixture for another 3-5 minutes, adding more olive oil if needed.
Reduce heat to medium low and add coconut, water, and curry, stirring well to combine. Cover the skillet and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.



Serve over rice.
