Tofu Poached in Curry Tomato Sauce

PUBLISHED December 20, 2021

The North African and Middle Eastern versions of shakshuka — where eggs are poached in tomato sauce — is gorgeous, satisfying, and easy to prepare in advance. But plant-based it obviously is not. Enter this tofu translation. The sauce is seasoned with lots of ginger and curry powder so choose one as hot or sweet as you like. Other spice blend options are five-spice or everyday chili powder (in which case you might consider changing the ginger to garlic). Serve this with plenty of bread or brown rice or other whole grain, like millet. Cooked greens or salad turn brunch into a feast.
