Mango Habanero Tofu

Ingredients.

​Mango Habanero Sauce:

🔹 Juice of 2 or 3 limes added with a tsp of lime zest
🔹 1/2 cup water
🔹 Salt to taste
🔹 1 medium sized carrot, roughly chopped
🔹 1 tbsp grated ginger
🔹 1 garlic cloves
🔹 1/4 cup rice vinegar
🔹 1 ripe mangos* (about 1 cup chopped)
🔹 2 habaneros
🔹 2 tbsp maple

Tofu:

🔹 1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
🔹 1 block of super firm tofu
🔹 1 tbsp avocado oil
🔹 A generous pinch of salt

Method.

▶️ Add all ingredients for the sauce except lime juice to a blender, and blend until smooth.
Bring sauce to a boil while whisking continuously until it thickens. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add lime juice at the end, and season to taste with salt. Refrigerate in a clean glass jar.

▶️ Cut tofu in half, and pat away any moisture with a clean kitchen towel. Cut the 2 pieces into bite-sized cubes, season them with salt, and dust with cornstarch until evenly coated. I use a small sieve for that, but you can also dip the pieces in cornstarch and shake off any excess powder.


▶️ Brush a cast iron skillet with avocado oil, bring it to medium heat, and fry tofu pieces from all sides until golden. Flip them around after 2-3 minutes on each side.


▶️ Toss them with the mango habanero sauce (I used a little more than 1/2 a cup), and let everything cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes until every piece is evenly coated and lightly caramelized.


Enjoy!

FOR THE JACKFRUIT

▶️ 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
▶️ 1 medium onion, diced
▶️ 2 large cloves garlic, minced

Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute before adding the jackfruit, chickpeas, curry sauce, and tomato passata. Fry for 8-10 minutes until the sauce is sticky and caramelised, stirring occasionally.

▶️ If the store-bought sauce isn’t punchy enough, feel free to enhance the flavour with some of these ingredients: garam masala, ground cumin, curry powder, brown sugar, tamari/soy sauce, or chilli flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked through, remove from the heat and set aside.

▶️ Next, add a generous amount of the curried jackfruit and chickpeas to each naan, spreading evenly across the base. Sprinkle on the vegan feta (if using), then bake for 5-10 minutes until the crust is crisp to your liking.

▶️ Once cooked, remove the naan pizzas from the oven and drizzle with coconut yogurt or raita (or use as a dipping sauce), a sprinkle of fresh coriander, and more chutneys or pickles (or serve on the side for dipping). Slice the pizzas and enjoy!
