Get ready to ignite your taste buds with the bold flavors of the Caribbean!
Today, we’re diving into the world of vegan Jamaican curry, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!

Imagine a dish that’s full of earthy goodness, with sautéed tofu, bold curry, and creamy coconut milk all coming together in perfect harmony.
It all starts with heating some grapeseed oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. While that’s getting hot, pat some excess water from your tofu with a paper towel – you want it to be nice and dry so it browns evenly.
Once the oil is hot, add your tofu and fry until it’s browned around the edges, about 4 minutes per side. Remove it from the skillet and set it aside for now.

Next, add some chopped onions, bell peppers, and a tablespoon of Jamaican yellow curry powder to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes, until the veggies are starting to soften.
Then, add some sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet, and sauté for another 3 minutes, until they’re tender and lightly browned.
Now it’s time to bring everything together! Return the tofu to the skillet, add another tablespoon of curry powder (or more to taste), and mix well.
Pour in some coconut milk, stir well, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the flavors have melded together and the sauce has thickened.

Season with some salt and pepper to taste, and serve over rice. This vegan Jamaican curry is a game-changer – it’s creamy, spicy, and utterly delicious!
