How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the cumin and coriander elements, and pat the tofu dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the firm tofu and roast until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the ras el hanout and the rest of the cumin and coriander flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
