Braised Fennel, Brocolini & Tofu

Description
Fennel, ginger, and yogurt sauce give this a juicy and flavorful recipe you'll enjoy over and over again!

Ingredients

• 2 TBSP plain yogurt
• 2 TBSP plus 1/4 Cup of water
• 1/2 cup sucanant or raw sugar
• 2 TBSP ghee or sunflower oil
• 2 TSP grated fresh ginger
• 1 TSP fennel seeds
• 1 TSP ground coriander
• 1/2 TSP turmeric
• 1 Fennel bulb, cut into small chunks
• 1 Cup tofu cubes or organic chicken breast
• 1/4 Cup veggie stock (optional)
• 1 TBSP lemon juice
• 1 head of bok choy, broccolini, kale, or collard greens - I personally love this with broccolini.

If using chicken:
If you're making chicken instead of tofu, boil chicken breast in water with 1 TSP peppercorns, bay leaf, 1 chopped up carrot and any other left over raw veggies you have. Once cooked, slice into desired size.

Directions
1. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, 2 TBSP water and sugar. Set aside.

2. Melt the ghee in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the fennel seeds, coriander, and turmeric and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the chopped fennel and sauté and additional 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the tofu or chicken, remaining water or veggie stock, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Add the greens (bok choy, kale, broccolini). Cover the pan and cook until the fennel and greens are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes more.

4. Stir in the reserved yogurt mixture. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thoroughly heated through, about 5 minutes.

Serve & enjoy!
