Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 diced yellow onion medium
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2- inch piece of grated fresh ginger (about 30 grams)
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 700 grams of cubed butternut squash (2/3 of a large squash)
- 1/2 cup brown lentils
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 13.5 oz 400 ml can coconut milk
- 4 cups of chopped kale de-stemmed
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and let it warm.
- Add 1 diced yellow onion to the pot and stir. Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon red curry paste, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, salt, and1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add 2- inch piece of grated fresh ginger and 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another minute.
- Add the 700 grams of cubed butternut squash to the pot and stir to coat in the spices.
- Add 1/2 cup brown lentils and stir again.
- Pour in 4 cups vegetable stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot.
- Place the lid on the pot and bring the stew to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and place the lid slightly askew on top of the pot, allowing steam to escape. Simmer until the butternut squash is almost falling apart, the lentils are tender, and the liquid has reduced by almost a third, about 30 minutes.
- Add 13.5 oz 400 ml can coconut milk and 4 cups of chopped kale to the pot and stir.
- Place the lid back on the pot and continue simmering until the kale is wilted and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the stew back up to a strong simmer, then serve hot.
