Spicy Baked Eggs With Tofu And Cabbage
Spicy Baked Eggs With Tofu And Cabbage
This is a hearty vegetarian egg bake that combines a basic Italian-inspired tomato sauce with more typically Asian combination of tofu and cabbage. The resulting dish is complex, interesting and fulfilling. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, just pour the tofu, cabbage and sauce into a baking dish before cracking in the eggs.
This is a simple, spicy braised tofu and cabbage dish flavored with curry and coconut milk. The tomato puree adds a balancing acidity and lightness. For even more bright flavor, stir in a teaspoon of lime juice and chopped cilantro or basil at the end.
This simple dish is inspired by James Beard's classic recipe. The sauerkraut is traditionally cooked with salt pork, but ham makes for a lean substitute. If you don't have Champagne or don't want to sacrifice a whole bottle, substitute dry white wine.

Cabbage may not be typically Sicilian, but the sweet, sour and spicy flavors surrounding it in this dish are. Sprinkle in a few teaspoons of white sugar at the end if the cabbage is too tart.
This chunky minestrone is garnished with tangy pickled okra. A parmesan rind adds a delicate depth of flavor to the broth that is hard to reproduce; freeze rinds until you're ready to make this hearty winter soup.
