curry quinoa with carrots peas and tofu
|
pre-heat oven to 350°, slice the squash in half, long-ways, and scoop out the seeds (you can use any kind of squash - the one pictured is called "delicata", which has a very smooth delicate texture and is usually very sweet)... place squash halves in a baking dish with a cup of water, place in oven and cook for 15-30 minutes (depends on how big your squash is - but it will be done when you can easily poke a fork thru the thickest part)
while the squash and quinoa is cooking, wash the greens and begin the salad - wash veggies well, use as much of you want of the above, add more, whatever you have... if necessary, slice out the thick center stalk of the collards (depends on how big the greens are) and chop the greens... heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a pan and coat the entire bottom, then add the greens - bring heat down from high to medium high, add 1/2 cup water to the greens, and then cover and let simmer for 5-10 minutes until done, stirring often - add a bit of sea salt about mid-way thru cooking and stir
while the greens cook, dice the carrot, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small pot, then add diced carrot and (probably frozen) green peas, cover, and reduce heat to medium - let simmer for 5 or so minutes, or until its soft but still with bright green and orange colors... while that simmers, cube the tofu, and heat a pan with 2-3 tsp. olive oil - add tofu when the oil is hot and thin enough to spread around the whole pan, reduce heat to medium-high and let the tofu brown for about 3 minutes, stirring with the spatula often so that the tofu cubes get golden on each side... add the braggs and sprinkle the curry, cook, stirring very often, for another 3 minutes, or until they are brown enough for you
add carrots, peas, and tofu to the quinoa, mix a bit, then add the olive oil and Bragg's to taste - mix well so its all evenly distributed... serve with salad (with olive oil, ume plum vinegar, and gomasio for dressing), squash, and greens for a super delux gourmet vegan feast
