Ingredients
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
Directions
- 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.
