			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>This is my very first cooking recipe I am writing about. And it is actually one of the very few recipes I am able to cook. For your information: I am not a great cook at all (and my name is not Jamie Oliver). But I am patient and I am learning, especially from m-c&#8217;s cooking magic (obviously inspired by Jamie&#8230; LOL). </p>
	<p>So let&#8217;s get started with the TCR recipe (=Tofu Curry with rice). It&#8217;s really easy to prepare and healthy too&#8230; and veggie-friendly&#8230; and even vegan-friendly for really complicated people <img src='http://mcturgeon.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
	<p><strong>The ingredients:</strong></p>
	<p>We need <strong>one onion</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2231407334/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2188/2231407334_ee131e2847_t.jpg" alt="Tofu curry with rice" height="75" width="100" /></a> and <strong>some potatoes</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612189/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2282/2230612189_f206dbf0a6_t.jpg" alt="Tofu curry with rice" height="75" width="100" /></a> and <strong>broccoli</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2231407566/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2243/2231407566_eebd8b59ae_t.jpg" width="100" height="75" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a> and <strong>coconut milk</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2231407660/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2231407660_0fb27e1175_t.jpg" width="100" height="75" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a> and <strong>basmati rice</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612445/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2362/2230612445_6cf771baa8_t.jpg" width="100" height="75" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a> and <strong>tofu</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612535/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2110/2230612535_8ffb926c56_t.jpg" width="100" height="75" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a> and <strong>some garlic</strong> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612651/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2284/2230612651_374d4565b1_t.jpg" width="100" height="75" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a> and <strong>one carrot</strong> (sorry no photo, just try to imagine how carrots look like) and some <strong>curry powder</strong> (it looks similar to that: ::&#8230;.:&#8230;:::..). </p>
	<p>Try to buy organic vegetables, for example <a href="http://www.jardindesanges.com">here</a>! So you can make sure that your vegetables did not soak up any pesticides.</p>
	<p><strong>The cooking process:</strong></p>
	<p><strong>1 )</strong> Cut the onions in small pieces and put some sunflower oil into a pan (I am using a Wok with a cover,  which is practical for cooking vegetables) together with the onions. Cut the broccoli into small pieces. </p>
	<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612827/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/2230612827_c928654600_m.jpg" alt="Tofu curry with rice" height="180" width="240" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612995/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2087/2230612995_d4acca55a5_m.jpg" alt="Tofu curry with rice" height="180" width="240" /></a></p>
	<p>You see some carrots in the background, right? Please cut them as well. And don&#8217;t forget to peel and cut the potatoes. BTW, I love cutting vegetables and I spend a lot of time on it. It has a relaxing effect on me.</p>
	<p> <strong>2 )</strong> Heat the pan with the onions. Add some roughly cut pieces of garlic to the onions. Wait until the onions become &#8220;golden&#8221;, but not brown.  In the mean time, please cut the tofu in 3D cubes.</p>
	<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612609/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2294/2230612609_4f22b464bf_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230612917/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2117/2230612917_4581fbf527_m.jpg" alt="Tofu curry with rice" height="180" width="240" /></a></p>
	<p><strong>3 )</strong> Put some curry powder into the pan and stir the onions and garlic with it. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230613091/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2336/2230613091_1cc705fe5b_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a></p>
	<p><strong>4 )</strong> Now put the potatoes, the broccoli and carrots into the pan. Close the pan and let it broil for a while.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230613179/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2355/2230613179_960bd8bd7e_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a></p>
	<p><strong>5 )</strong> Pour the coconut milk into the pan and mix the vegetables with it. At that time I add some salt&#8217;n'pepper. Close the pan again and let it cook, at small heat for 5 minutes.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2231408486/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2316/2231408486_c2c8101c60_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mia_terranova/2230613321/" title="Tofu curry with rice by Mia Terranova, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2143/2230613321_6b31eb0f74_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Tofu curry with rice" /></a></p>
	<p><strong>6 )</strong> If you are organized than you could have prepared the rice already. I did not, so I have to do it now. I use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water, if I eat alone. <img src='http://mcturgeon.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
	<p><strong>7 )</strong> Put the 3D tofu cubes into the pan. Let it broil for 2 more minutes, or less if you think. The target is to not get soft vegetables. I like them crisp!</p>
	<p><strong>8 )</strong> After the rice is ready, you can eat. I am always very proud if I cooked something by myself. <strong>Bon appetit !</strong><br />
