## **RAINBOW STIR-FRY**

“This dish is exactly what we mean when we say ‘eat the rainbow’. Just look at all that colour. It’s a super-quick dish to cook, so get everything ready before you start. Use an oil with a high smoke point, like rapeseed oil, so that it doesn’t burn. This stir-fry already contains edamame beans, noodles and cashew nuts, but you can add a little tofu to boost the protein even further.”

## HEALTHY SAAG PANEER

“We’ve recreated the mildly acidic taste and springy texture of paneer by flavouring tofu with a combination of nutritional yeast, miso and lemon. Spinach is a great addition to a curry and you can pack in loads, as it wilts down so quickly. Go for wholemeal chapatis on the side.”

#### SERVES 2  
   
INGREDIENTS  
   
FOR THE TOFU PANEER

- 250g of firm tofu
- 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp of white miso paste
- 1 tsp of coconut oil (melted)

#### TO SERVE

- 2 wholemeal chapatis or roti (or cooked brown rice)

#### UTENSILS

- Baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Tofu press or 2 clean tea towels and a weight such as a heavy book
- Fine grater or microplane
- Large frying pan

#### METHOD

1\. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and first make the paneer. Press the tofu by placing it between two clean tea towels. Lay it on a plate and put a weight on top. Leave for at least 30 minutes to drain off any liquid and firm up. Zest, halve and juice the lemon into a mixing bowl. Add the nutritional yeast, miso paste and coconut oil; mix with a fork to combine. Cut the pressed tofu into 1.5cm cubes. Tip the cubes into the mixing bowl, toss to coat and leave to marinate for 25-30 minutes. Spread the cubes out on the lined baking tray, put the tray in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until golden, turning them once, halfway through the cooking time.  
  
2\. Now make the saag. Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic. Peel the ginger by scraping off the skin with a spoon, then grate it. Dice the tomatoes. Roughly chop the spinach. Heat the oil in the large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and stir for 30 seconds. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir for 1 minute. Add the garam masala, turmeric and chilli flakes, and stir for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and stir for 3-4 minutes. Add the spinach and stir for 2 minutes. Finally, add the soya cream and stir for 2 minutes until the saag has a creamy consistency. Taste the saag and season to perfection with salt and pepper.  
  
3\. Transfer the saag to a serving bowl. Take the paneer out of the oven. Place the paneer cubes on the saag and serve immediately with brown rice, or wholemeal chapatis or roti.
