TOFU DOROWAT



Tofu Dorowat image

A variation on Ethiopian Dorowat made with tofu instead of chicken. For a complete Ethiopian feast, make this dish with (other recipes from my book): - Lentils of Doom - Cabbage of Ostracism - Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce Making these four dishes together, you can: - Pick up one lg white onion and chop it finely. Split it four ways between the dishes. - Pick up one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes and split it between the Dorowat and Beef Stew Start the beef early, then the dorowat. Then, do the lentils (assuming pre-cooked potatoes) and cabbage. Pick up some Enjera (that amazing yummy bread). Live in Calgary? Pick it up fresh at Amy's Confectionary on 7th between 11AM and 5PM. YUMM!!!

Crispy Tofu with Roasted Vegetables image

Preheating an empty baking sheet while the oven reaches the right temperature means the vegetables for this dish instantly start sizzling and cooking the second they hit the tray. It will cut down on the time it takes to roast them, while also ensuring they brown evenly.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sweet potatoes, unpeeled (about 1 pound)
1 12-ounce package trimmed green beans
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 14- to 16-ounce block extra-firm tofu, drained
3/4 cup fresh parsley
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh chives, plus more for topping
Grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 4 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons roasted salted almonds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Put a large baking sheet on the middle or lower oven rack and preheat to 500 ĚŠ F. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then halve each piece lengthwise to make 4 long wedges.
  • Slice the wedges crosswise and combine in a large bowl with the green beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper; toss well. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing once, until tender and browned in spots, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the tofu into twelve 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-inch cubes. Press with paper towels to absorb some of the moisture; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp on all sides, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine the parsley, chives, lemon zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a mini food processor; pulse until chopped (or finely chop by hand). Add the remaining 3 tablespoons
  • olive oil and pulse to combine. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice and 1 to 2 teaspoons water to make the sauce loose enough to drizzle. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the vegetables and tofu among plates. Drizzle with the herb sauce and top with the almonds and more chives.

Categories     Curries

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu, pressed and cut into serving-size pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons ghee
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 piece fresh gingerroot (cleaned, scraped, and chopped (about a teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
3 tablespoons tomato paste or 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry red wine
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
hard-boiled egg, pierced with a toothpick (1 per person) (optional)

Steps:

  • 1) Cook the onions over medium heat for a few minutes in a dry (no oil) pot or Dutch Oven, large enough to eventually hold all of the ingredients. Stir constantly to prevent them from browning or burning; reduce heat or remove the pot from the heat if necessary.
  • 2) Add the butter to the onions, along with the garlic, ginger, fenugreek, cardamom, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and paprika,and tomato. Stir and simmer for a few minutes. The onions should be soft, tender, and translucent, but not browned.
  • 3) Add the stock and dry red wine. Bring the mixture to a low boil while stirring gently. Cook for a few minutes, then reduce heat. Take a few tablespoons of broth out of the pot and mix it in a small bowl with the cornstarch until lumps are gone. Stir into the pot.
  • 4) Add the tofu pieces, making sure to cover them with the sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • 5) After the tofu has gotten warmed, add salt and pepper to taste. Then gently add the hard-boiled eggs and ladle sauce over them.
  • 6) Serve hot. The only traditional way to serve doro wat is with a spongy flat bread called injera, which can only be properly made with difficult-to-obtain teff flour. Doro wat is also very good with Couscous, Rice, or Middle-Eastern or Indian style flat bread.
