Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • ½ cup onion finely diced
  • 2 cups diced butternut squash
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp Red Curry Powder or red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 13 ounces canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 cups spinach

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, add oil and diced onion to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until onions have softened.
  2. Add in diced butternut squash, ginger paste, red curry powder and curry powder. Gently stir to coat the squash in spices.
  3. Cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Then, add in coconut milk and broth. Bring mixture to a light boil. Place lid on skillet and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, until squash is fork tender.
  5. Turn heat off. Add in spinach. Stir until wilted.
  6. Finally, ladle into bowls.

Notes

  • Finely dice onions.  Feel free to use shallots if desired.
  • Dice butternut squash into no larger than 1 inch cubes.
  • I do not recommend another milk.  Canned coconut milk is thicker and more creamy than traditional milk.
  • Allow mixture to simmer until squash is fork tender.
  • I highly recommend tasting as you cook.  I like a lot of spice, so I ended up adding a bit more curry powder.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month.
