Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 carton soft or firm tofu -- drained

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 large lime

finely grated zest and juice of

3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

1 teaspoon curry powder

2 scallions -- thinly sliced

1 celery rib -- finely diced

1 tablespoon mango chutney

 

Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

 

AUTHOR NOTES [page 41] Serve this curried tofu in butter-lettuce leaves

garnished with roasted cashews or chunks of chutney, or as a sandwich filling.

Steeping the tofu in hot water firms up the texture and rounds out the flavor.

The directions call for rather large pieces, but if you prefer, break up the

tofu with a fork.

 

1. Cut the tofu into cubes or strips about In inch across. Bring 6 cups water

to a boil, add 1 teaspoon salt, and turn off the heat. Lower the tofu into the

water and let it sit for 2 minutes. Gently tip it into a wide colander, then

rinse under cool water. Shake off the excess moisture and turn the tofu onto a

clean kitchen towel to dry.

 

2. Combine the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding

more curry powder or lime juice, if needed, to make it a little more zesty. Add

the tofu and gently toss with a rubber spatula. If possible, chill 20 minutes

or more. The flavors will emerge and mellow as the salad stands.
