Cooking Instructions
- Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Cut the potato into 2cm cubes (peel optional), then add to the saucepan. Simmer for 13-15 mins, until soft, then drain.
- Roughly dice half the onion, and finely slice the remaining. Trim and roughly chop the cabbage. Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 2cm cubes.
- Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 5-6 mins, until golden. Add the ginger and diced onion and cook for 1 min. Add the tomato puree and baharat spice and cook for 1 min. Then, add the passata, cabbage, whole tomatoes and 300ml hot water (150ml for 1 person). Crumble in the stock cube and stir.
- Bring to a boil then simmer for 10-12 mins, until the sauce thickens. Add the cooked potato and simmer for a final 2 mins. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Make the onion pickle; roughly chop the coriander. In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar, sliced onion, half the coriander, a pinch of sea salt and 2 tsp oil.
- Serve in bowls topped with the onion pickle and the remaining coriander.
