Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small butternut squash (700-900g), peeled and chopped
  • 2 sweet potatoes (275g), peeled and chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 400 ml full-fat coconut milk (reserve 2 tablespoons for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 750 ml vegetable or chicken stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your vegetables by peeling and chopping the butternut squash and sweet potatoes into equal-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onion until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add garlic, cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, and chili flakes to the pot. Stir for about a minute until fragrant.
  4. Combine the chopped butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and stock in the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer covered for about 20 minutes until tender.

  6. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with reserved coconut milk drizzled on top.
