It got here collectively as I used to be riffing off one in all Lora Zarubin’s recipes from I Am Nearly At all times Hungry – her Potatoes with Tomato Curry. I really like an all-in-one-pot meal, and cobbling collectively a hearty, vegetarian model of her recipe utilizing tempeh for a protein part was the sport plan. Let me let you know….
Whereas, the method wasn’t in any respect sophisticated, simply an onion sautéed with a brief checklist of spices, with diced tomatoes, a splash of cream, and ultimately potatoes and tempeh. All of it got here collectively in a wonderfully vibrant, red-orange pot of feisty curry. Completed with a little bit of cilantro, it’s aromatic, filling, and tastes a lot extra indulgent than it really is. I like it.
