kuri curry

 This kuri squash curry was really good, exactly what I wanted, and next time plans are below. 

Ingredients

• 2# winter squash such as kuri or kabocha; keeping skin unless it's too tough like butternut
• small onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
  
• 1/2 bunch of chard or similar green (though spinach wasn't great) - about 6 oz.
  
• 1 Tbsp curry powder
• salt, pepper
• can of coconut milk
•  (broth)
• garbanzos or cooked tofu 
  
• brown rice (I used jasmine and it was too meh)
  

Process  

• Heat oil*, add onions and cook until translucent (about 8 minutes).
• Turn heat down a bit and add garlic, ginger, curry power, salt, and pepper.  Cook a minute or so.
• Add squash and stir it up, then add coconut milk and broth if desired.  (I thought it was too soupy with broth).  
• Cook about 20-30 minutes.
• Add garbanzos or cooked tofu to heat.  (This wasn't in the original recipe but would have been better.)
  
• Add greens and cook another 5 minutes or so to wilt (or longer if necessary with denser greens).
  

 

*Recipe called for coconut oil but that gives me heartburn so I just used what I had.
