Istruzioni

Begin by making the curry. Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and place it over medium heat.

When the oil is hot, add the onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin and cayenne pepper. Sauté until very fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the broth, tomatoes, tomato paste and peanut butter. Raise the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Stir in the plantains.

Lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 15-20 minutes, until it's thick and the plantains are soft. You can add a bit of water if it gets too thick during simmering.

While the curry simmers, make the tofu. Stir the soy sauce, smoke, maple syrup and cumin together in a small bowl.

Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu in an even layer.

Cook the tofu for about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice, until browned on multiple sides.

Add the sauce and flip a few times to coat the tofu. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, until most of the liquid has evaporated.

When the curry has finished simmering, remove the pot from heat and season it with salt to taste. Stir in the tofu.

Serve over rice and top with peanuts and cilantro.
