Yum! I love this one--so easy, and a great way to get your greens. It also works well with broccoli. I got the recipe out of one of those little REAL FOOD magazines, and made a few changes to it...Martha. Love her or hate her, she really has changed the way so many people think about food and home. I saw her once at a party where I was playing the piano. We made eye contact. It was a special moment.
CURRIED SPINACH AND RICE
2 T olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1 ½ t salt
¼ t fresh ground pepper
1 T curry powder, preferably Madras
½ t ground ginger
2 packages (10 oz each) frozen spinach, unthawed
8 oz. sour cream
1 package extra-firm silken tofu, drained and cut into small cubes
cooked rice, for serving
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally, until onion is beginning to brown, 5-7 minutes. Add curry powder and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add spinach and ½ cup water, simmering, breaking up spinach with a spoon. Add more water if necessary. Reduce heat to medium, stirring occasionally until the spinach has completely thawed, heated, and all the liquid has evaporated, 10-12 minutes.
3. Stir in the sour cream and tofu; cook just to heat through, 3-5 minutes (do not boil). Serve with rice, if desired.
