Squash curry with brown rice recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup brown rice
• 1 cup vegetable stock
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 cups small diced butternut squash
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. In a medium-size pot with a lid, add rice, vegetable stock and kosher salt. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 50 minutes completely covered.
2. Take off the heat after 50 minutes, leave covered and let sit for 10 minutes.
3. Bring a medium-size pot of water to boil over high heat. Add in butternut squash and cook for about 7 minutes until fork tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
4. In a high-sided medium-large skillet, add butter and melt. Whisk in flour until you get a paste. Slowly whisk in coconut milk and make sure there are no large clumps.
5. Sprinkle in curry powder and whisk. Add in squash and cook on low until the squash is warmed through, and the sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Scoop out prepared rice and spoon squash curry on top.
