  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • Dash cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons of oil
kale & sweet potato sauté
  • 1/3 cup vegetable broth (plus more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh peeled ginger, minced

  • 1 bunch kale, veins removed, leaves sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced

Method
 

Steps
  1. Combine all the spices and mix well.
  2. Cut tofu into eight slices. Dry with paper towels.
  3. Dredge the tofu liberally with the spice mixture, coating all sides.
  4. Heat oil in a non-stick pan.
  5. When hot, add the tofu slices and brown on all sides. This only takes a few minutes on each side.
  6. Meanwhile, heat the vegetable broth in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and onion and saute for a couple of minutes. Add the kale, sweet potato, and lime juice. Cover and reduce heat to low, and cook until potato is tender and the kale is wilted. Approximately 7-10 minutes.
  7. Arrange the kale and sweet potato mixture on a plate. Overlap tofu slices on top and serve.
