CARROT, SQUASH AND POTATO RAGOUT WITH THAI FLAVORS

Carrot, Squash and Potato Ragout With Thai Flavors image

This is inspired by a recipe in Patricia Wells's "Vegetable Harvest." The flavors are both sweet and pungent. Serve it on its own or over rice; Thai purple sticky rice looks particularly pretty against the orange vegetables but any type of rice will do. I'm very happy serving this over brown rice.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
Salt to taste
1 to 2 serrano or Thai green chiles, minced (to taste)
1/2 pound tofu, cut in dominoes or dice
1 teaspoon curry powder, preferably a sweet blend
1 3-inch piece of lemon grass stalk, crushed (use a rolling pin or a meat tenderizer)
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced thin (about 3/4 pound or 2 cups)
3/4 pound butternut squash, peeled and cut in small squares (about 2 cups)
3/4 pound yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon gold or fingerlings, cut in small dice, or if using fingerlings, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup light coconut milk, shaken to blend
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy lidded skillet or wide saucepan and add the ginger and onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, the tofu and the chiles, stir together, cover and cook gently for another 3 minutes, until the onion is soft but not browned. Add the curry powder, stir together, and add the lemon grass, carrots, squash, potatoes, and stock. Add salt to taste, bring to a simmer, cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile place the coconut milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce by half.
Stir the coconut milk into the vegetable ragout and combine well. Cover and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove the lemon grass stalk. Taste and adjust seasonings. Just before serving stir in the lime juice. Serve in wide bowls, with rice if desired, garnishing each bowl with chopped cilantro.
