Delicata squash’s thin skin is tender when it’s cooked so there’s no need to peel. Serve with quinoa or brown rice.
Serves: 4

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 14-ounce package extra-firm or firm water-packed tofu
  • 4 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
  • 1 large delicata squash (about 1 pound), halved, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 14-ounce can “lite” coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 8 cups coarsely chopped kale or chard, tough stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus more to taste

Instructions
  1. Combine curry powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Blot tofu dry with a paper towel and cut into 1-inch cubes; toss the tofu in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture.
  3. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the tofu and cook, stirring every 2 minutes, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Add squash, onion, ginger and the remaining spice mixture; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
  7. Add coconut milk and brown sugar; bring to a boil.
  8. Add half the kale (or chard) and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted, about 1 minute.
  9. Stir in the rest of the greens and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  10. Return the tofu to the pan, cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the squash and greens are tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  11. Remove from the heat and stir in lime juice.
