from Tues the 5th, by Amy and Ethan

Red Lentil and Tofu Curry

1 small onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup red lentils
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups water
1/2 pound firm tofu
1 tsp cumin seeds (I subbed cumin powder-- it is way better with seeds!)
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp salt, plus extra to taste
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Saute onion, garlic, ginger, then add lentils and water and bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes. (I did this in crock pot)

Stir fry tofu with cumin and curry, then transfer to lentils, simmer together for 5 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Salad-- organic greens, blue cheese, walnuts, baby carrots, grape tomatoes. Dressing- olive oil, balsamic vinegar, prepared brown mustard, garlic.
