Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 Spanish onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
4 cups 1-inch-dice kabocha squash (from about 1 peeled squash)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
Two 13.5-ounce cans coconut milk
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 cup fresh spinach
Cooked long-grain rice (preferably jasmine), for serving
1/2 cup peanuts, toasted
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the butter to a medium pot over medium heat and let it brown. Add the carrot, onion and ginger and let cook until lightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the squash and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the curry paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Whisk in the coconut milk and chicken stock. Simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 45 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce and spinach.
  • Serve over rice and garnish with the peanuts, cilantro, pomegranate and limes.

I'm not a huge squash fan, but this dish changed my mind. The kabocha squash was sweet and tender, and the curry sauce was rich and flavorful.

This was my first time cooking with kabocha squash and I'm glad I tried it. Its mild flavor was nicely complemented by the bold red curry.

I was short on time, so I used store-bought red curry paste. The dish still turned out great!

The recipe was easy to follow and resulted in a delicious and satisfying meal. I especially loved the contrast between the tender squash and the crispy fried shallots.

This curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed the unique flavors. Next time I'll use less chili paste.
