Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 medium head garlic, halved crosswise

  • 1 (3 ½) pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

  • 1 medium onion, quartered

  • 1 medium leek, white portion only, chopped

  • 1 (1 ½ inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled

  • 4 cups chicken broth, divided

  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Wrap each garlic half in foil and place on the prepared baking sheet. Add squash, cut-side down. Add onion, leek, and ginger.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are golden and squash skin is easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  4. Squeeze out roasted garlic cloves and scoop out squash flesh into a food processor or blender with onion, leek, and ginger. Add 2 cups broth and purée (in batches if necessary) until smooth. Transfer to a soup pot.

  5. Place the pot over medium heat and add remaining broth. Whisk in coconut milk, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook until heated through, about 15 minutes.

My great-grandmother's recipe. A little bit of work, but well worth it. We make about 200 every Christmas Eve, and everyone can't wait. The amounts for the ingredients is an estimate, because my great-grandmother does not measure! Serve with a side of sour cream.

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

Baked Buffalo Chicken Dip

Make this baked Buffalo chicken dip if you're ready to bring more than just a bag of chips to a game-watching party. You will become an appetizer all-star! Serve it warm with celery and crackers to party guests who won't be able to stop eating it.

Moroccan Lamb Stew with Apricots

Moroccan Lamb Stew with Apricots

The lamb gets mellow from cooking until tender, and the warm spices take away any overly “lamby” flavor. The apricots, cilantro, and pine nuts are a wonderful combination. This stew took very little time or effort--very nice for a complex-flavored dish like this. This would be great with crusty bread, served over couscous, or with chickpeas added in for a heartier meal.

Pork Chops with Vinegar

Pork Chops with Vinegar

Simmered until tender in vinegar, these pork chops are then drenched in a thick gravy made with the cooking juices, a roux, and surprise — anchovies! The recipe was given to me by a friend who owns an Italian restaurant. Serve this savory dish with fluffy mashed potatoes and fried apple rings.

Apple Pecan and Bacon Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

Apple Pecan and Bacon Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

This apple pecan salad features crisp mixed spring greens, two types of apples, toasted pecans, and smoked havarti cheese. The vinaigrette has a nod to fall flavors with a touch of maple syrup.
