Thursday night dinner
I made a recipe that our CSA farm, Harmony Valley Farm, posted in one of their newsletters:
Tofu Broccoli Cashew Peanut Madness
(originally appeared in MACSAC’s A-Z Cookbook)
1 Tbsp butter or oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, cubed
2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce, divided
½-¾ cup peanut butter, preferably crunchy
1 cup or more water
2-3 tsp lemon or lime juice
¼ teaspoon cumin or more to taste
Cayenne to taste
1 medium head broccoli, peeled and chopped
Hot, cooked brown rice (I used a combination of long grain brown & wild rices)
Handful of roasted cashews, chopped
Heat butter or oil in skillet; add onion and garlic; sauté until soft. Add tofu and 1 Tbsp tamari; sauté until brown. Remove from pan. In same pan, mix peanut butter, lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tamari, cumin, and cayenne. Thin with 1 cup water to obtain gravy like texture. Stir in tofu mixture. Steam broccoli. Serve sauce over broccoli and brown rice, topped with cashews.
I also had some leftover sauteed baby white turnips, radishes and turnip greens. I reheated the vegetables in a little oil. Then I added 4 beaten eggs with some soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. It made a nice addition to the meal.
