About


After all the holiday indulgence, I believe our bodies crave less rich foods. On the other hand, it might also be our conscience that has gotten the upper hand, guiding us to healthier eating as the new year takes hold. This recipe is proof that even tofu can be edible and quite tasty, when combined with the right spices. Tofu is like a sponge ( albeit a rubbery one...... as most of you are probably thinking but too polite to say), absorbing the flavours of the other ingredients and especially the rich spices. The butternut pieces not only gives is a lovely buttery flavour but makes for a satisfying dish.
