Instructions
 

  • Rinse and chop the produce accordingly. Preheat your oven to 425 ̊F and line two baking trays. Press the tofu prior to preparing this recipe.
  • Make the tofu and cauliflower marinade. Combine all of the marinade in a large bowl. Then, coat the cauliflower and tofu in the marinade, and let stand for 15-20 minutes (or you can prepare this the night before).
  • Bake the tofu and cauliflower. Add the tofu to one baking tray, and the cauliflower to the other. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Set a large skillet or pot to medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, and onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until onion is translucent. Then, add all of the spices and cilantro stems, and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the coconut cream and lemon juice, and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until the flavors have combined.
  • Add the tofu and cauliflower to the sauce, and gently toss to coat.
  • Serve with your desired garnishes. Enjoy!
