Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash medium size
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 shallot
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 thumb-sized ginger piece
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 ¼ cup stock
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 9 oz chickpeas

For Garnishing

  • A handful coriander
  • A handful cashews toasted and crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C (400F)
  • Peel and cut into cubes the butternut quash. Transfer to a baking tray or baking dish, drizzle some olive oil and salt and bake for about 30 minutes. Depending on how big you cut the cubes, it will need longer or shorter.

  • While the squash is roasting, roughly chop the shallots, carrot, ginger and garlic clove. Add coconut oil to a frying pan and the chopped veggies. Stir-fry until the shallots soften and the rest start to golden.

  • Heat some coconut oil in a pan and add red curry paste and a little bit of coconut milk. Stir for a couple of minutes.

  • Add the blended mixture, the rest of the coconut milk, chickpeas, soy sauce, and the other half of the roasted butternut squash still in cubes.
    1 ½ cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 9 oz chickpeas
