This is my original recipe and can be either vegetarian or meat based. It also freezes well - just thaw, heat and add cream or yoghurt before serving. It's delicious and well worth the extra steps of roasting and pureeing. Enjoy!

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
2 large onions, peeled and quartered
1 medium head garlic
6 cups vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup plain yogurt
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place squash halves and onion onto the prepared baking sheet. Wrap garlic in foil and set with other vegetables.
  • Roast in the center of the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, until the squash is tender. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Squeeze garlic cloves out of their skin like paste into a food processor. Scrape the flesh from the squash and place into the food processor along with the roasted onion. Puree until smooth. Add vegetable broth if necessary. Transfer the pureed mixture to a stockpot and stir in vegetable broth.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm, heavy for its size, and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is soft, has bruises or cuts, or has a wrinkled skin.
  • Peel and cube the squash safely: Butternut squash can be difficult to peel and cut, so be careful to use a sharp knife and a cutting board that is stable. You can also microwave the squash for a few minutes to soften it before peeling and cutting.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the squash, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the squash from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality powder. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek.
  • Adjust the heat to your liking: This dish can be made as mild or as spicy as you like. If you prefer a milder dish, use less curry powder or omit the chili pepper. If you like a spicy dish, use more curry powder and add a chili pepper.

Conclusion:

Curried Butternut Squash Sauté is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be served as a main course or a side dish. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. So next time you have some leftover squash, give this recipe a try!
