    I tried this recipe last weekend and it was DELICIOUS. (I'm on a kale kick! I tried it the first time ever with this recipe, and had it again in FitChick's pasta recipe. Twice in one week. Never ever thought I would like it.)

    I followed the recipe except I parboiled the sweet potatoes first and used coconut oil for the veggies.  I purchased fresh, high quality organic stone ground mustard. If you like mustard, you will like this recipe!  

    mustard-crusted tofu with kale and sweet potato

    From Bon Appétit | September 2007

    Makes 4 servings

     ingredients
    1 14-ounce package firm tofu
    1/2 cup whole grain Dijon mustard

    4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 
    1/2 medium onion, sliced
    1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
    1 bunch kale, stem cut from each leaf, leaves thinly sliced crosswise (about 8 cups)
    1 small red-skinned sweet potato (yam; about 8 ounces), peeled, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
     preparation
    Cut tofu into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange on paper towels; drain 10 minutes. Spread both sides of each slice with mustard.

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and ginger; sauté 1 minute. Add kale, sweet potato, and lime juice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until potato is tender and kale is wilted, about 12 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu; cover and cook until heated through and crisp, about 2 minutes per side (some mustard seeds may fall off tofu).

    Arrange kale and sweet potato mixture on plate. Overlap tofu slices atop vegetables and serve.

    You are a girl after my own heart (and stomach)! This has all of my favorite ingredients (except wasabi)! I couldn't ask for a better meal than one with tofu, mustard, kale and sweet potato. I'd rather eat this than any dessert, anyday!

    I'm printing it out for my next week's menu. Thanks!

    God, that sounds fabulous! I think I'd just add a ton of garlic. I love to roast sweet potatoes with garlic, and squeeze lime juice over it all. Better than dessert, I agree, Marin!
