Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound ground meat alternative

1 1/4 cups silken tofu

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro

Salt -- to taste

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1 cup chopped onions

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

2 garlic cloves -- minced

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1 large ripe tomato -- chopped

1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

 

To make the meat balls, in a large bowl combine the ground meat alternative, 1/4

cup of the tofu, the peanuts, fresh ginger, cilantro, salt, 1/8 tsp. of the

cayenne and 3/4 cup of the chopped onions. Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls. Heat 1

Tbsp. of the oil in a large skillet. Add the balls and brown on all sides, about

3 minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper

towels.

 

To make the curry sauce, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a skillet. Add the

remaining onions and brown lightly. Add the cinnamon, cardamom, garlic,

turmeric, ground ginger, coriander, remaining cayenne and salt, to taste and

saute 2 minutes. Add the tomato and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove the

pan from the heat and whisk in the remaining tofu. Add enough water to make a

thick sauce. Carefully add the meat balls to the sauce and warm over low heat

without boiling. Garnish with the parsley.

 

Makes 8 servings.
