Thai Tofu Curry with Eggplant and Mango
with quinoa

Active: 25 min Total: 25 min
Nothing says bold flavor like a Thai curry, and we think you'll love this savory combination with just a hint of sweetness from fresh mango. We serve it over quinoa as a healthier alternative to classic rice.
Smarts: The spice in this curry can be easily adapted - use a mild curry paste or kick up the heat with Sriracha or red pepper flakes.
