Ingredients:
550 g Butternut squash (peeled and cubed )
300 g Pak Choi (quartered)
1 Onion (finely chopped)
2 Garlic cloves (grated)
50 g Ginger (grated)
1 tbsp Garam masala
1 tsp Ground turmeric
1 Can coconut milk (400 ml)
400 ml Vegetable stock
Olive oil
1 Lime (juiced)
20 g Coriander (chopped)
Salt & pepper
Basmati rice (to serve)
Recipe:
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add the ginger, garlic, and butternut squash and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garam masala, turmeric, and cook for another minute.
- Add the stock and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender. Stir in the coconut milk and cook for 5 minutes.
- While that's cooking, cook your rice in boiling salted water and pan fry the pak choi in olive oil, until tender and lightly charred.
- Remove the stew from the heat and stir in the coriander and lime juice.
- To serve, divide the rice between bowls and ladle the stew on top. Add your pak choi to the bowl, and sprinkle over some more coriander, if you like. Enjoy!
