Best Tofu Creamed Spinach Recipes
TOFU CREAMED SPINACH
A good alternative to higher-fat versions of creamed spinach, silken tofu is pureed with milk, cheese, and seasonings, then added to spinach sauteed with onions and garlic. Serve it to anyone, and don't tell them there's tofu in it until they've already eaten some. If you like, pan fry some thinly sliced mushrooms with the onion and garlic, or add some canned mushrooms with the spinach. You could also add a little crushed red pepper for heat and sprinkle some extra cheese on top for serving.

CURRY-CREAMED SPINACH AND TOFU (OR PORK) WITH POTATO CRUST
Coconut milk and yogurt lighten creamed spinach and make it more flavorful, and the addition of tofu or pork turns it into a main course. A crust of thinly sliced potatoes adds a welcome if nontraditional crust.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and salt it. When the water is boiling, add the spinach, and cook for about a minute. Plunge the spinach into a large bowl of ice water, squeeze the moisture from the leaves and roughly chop them.
- Put the butter and garam masala (or curry powder) and nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the spices are fragrant, add the coconut milk, yogurt, spinach, tofu (or pork) and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has absorbed much of the liquid; taste, and adjust the seasoning, and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
- Toss the potato slices with the oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay them over the top of the spinach and tofu (or pork) without overlapping too much. Bake until the potatoes are golden and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes. Scoop into bowls, and serve.
