Рецепт Thai Butternut Squash and Leek Curry
I haven’t cooked a lot with Squash but I’d love to include it in our diet because its a healthy vegetable that’s also rich in fiber and beta carotene.I love its sweet taste and the fact that it can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.I particularly love its vibrant color and its just so beautiful!
I’ve also come to the conclusion that this is my most favorite Butternut Squash dish ever.The combination of Leeks and the Butternut Squash sautéed together with the lemongrass, the ginger,garlic and spices is amazing.The addition of some creamy coconut milk brings about a harmonious balance of flavors. This dish served on a bed of rice is the most comforting dinner on a cold evening.Enjoy!
