1 1/2 pounds purple plums

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground clove

2 tablespoons safflower oil -- divided

1 pound Azumaya Tofu Lite Extra Firm -- 1/2-inch slices

3/4 cup chopped onion -- chopped

1 garlic clove -- minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 cups cooked basmati rice

 

1. Slice 1 plum and reserve for garnish. Cut the remaining plums into large

chunks. Discard the pits. In a food processor, puree the plums to make a smooth

sauce. Add the ginger, cinnamon and clove and mix well. Transfer to a small bowl

and set aside.

 

2. Preheat the oven to 375F. Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium

high heat. Add the tofu and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Remove the tofu with a slotted spatula to a baking pan large enough to hold all

of the pieces in one layer.

 

3. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and reheat. add the onion and garlic and

saute, covered, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the cumin and cayenne and

remove from the heat. Stir in the plum puree. Pour the sauce over the tofu.

Cover loosely and bake for 20 minutes to blend flavors. Serve with rice,

garnished with the reserved plum slices.
