  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tsp ginger finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 200g silver beet and baby spinach (I used half half)
  • 200ml coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Combine the tofu, lemon and salt and set aside in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Add the silverbeet and spinach and cook it down for a few minutes and then add the coconut milk and cook for a further few minutes. Then set aside to cool for a bit. Once cooled, blend the mixture up in a blender.
