Yid.Dish: Scrambled Tofu with Leeks and Greens
1 lb extra firm tofu
1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp curry powder
3 big handfuls spinach leaves, stemmed
½ tsp fine grain sea salt, plus more if needed
Drain any water from the tofu and press it between a couple of paper towels to release excess moisture, then crumble into smaller pieces.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and onion and sauté for just a few minutes until they soften up. Stir in the curry powder and then the tofu. Cover and cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until the tofu is thoroughly heated. Add the spinach and stir for a minute or so, until it wilts and collapses, then stir in the salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning with either more curry powder or salt.

I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
