CURRIED SPINACH AND TOFU
SMART SUBSTITUTIONS This recipe is inspired by saag paneer, an Indian dish traditionally made with soft, fresh cheese; here, the cheese is replaced with tofu, which is lower in fat. Reduced-fat sour cream, instead of coconut milk, thickens the curry sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add curry powder and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add spinach and the water; bring to a boil, breaking up spinach with a spoon. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until almost all liquid has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Stir in sour cream and tofu; cook just to heat through, 3 to 5 minutes (do not boil). Serve with rice, if desired.
- Tofu is sold in two types of packaging in grocery stores: refrigerated and shelf stable. Shelf-stable tofu can be stored at room temperature until opened, up to about 1 year (check the label for the use-by date); look for it in the Asian-food section.

CREAMY CURRIED SPINACH SOUP - VEGAN
This recipe is adapted from The New Fast Food by Jill Nussinow. This is a pressure cooker recipe, but you could easily make it in a regular stock pot - it would just take a bit longer.

"CREAMY" SPINACH CURRY
This recipe recalls the popular Indian dish saag paneer. Its use of tofu instead of paneer, an Indian cheese, makes it lighter and more convenient.

CURRIED SPINACH SOUP
I absolutely LOVE this soup and make it all the time. I've adapted the recipe to be more healthy by using olive oil instead of butter and fat-free sour cream. Serve topped with croutons.

Steps:
- Place the potato in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Drain, and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the green onions, and cook until tender. Stir in the cooked potatoes, then gradually mix in the spinach, stirring after each addition until spinach is limp. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan, and whisk in the flour and curry powder. Gradually whisk in broth so that no lumps form. Return the spinach mixture to the pan, stirring to blend, along with the lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Place sour cream in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot soup into the sour cream, and mix until well blended. Stir this back into the pot of soup. Heat through, but do not allow to boil. Serve immediately.
