    Roasted Delicata Squash, Cauliflower + Chickpea Curry

    Published Nov 4, 2014

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This bright yellow delicata squash cauliflower chickpea curry recipe makes a nourishing one-bowl meal for cooler months. Gluten-free and vegan.

    delicious Roasted Delicata Squash, Cauliflower + Chickpea Curry

    When I tell people that I spent my junior year of college in Bologna, Italy, the first thing they usually say is, "I bet the food there was amazing!" In actuality, with the exception of a dish of wild mushrooms from a restaurant, a single gelateria that I discovered a month before I came home, and the many containers of super creamy yogurt I nommed, this was not exactly the case.

    halved squash

    Bologna is best known for its hand-shaped pastas stuffed with pork and smothered in cream sauce, which I'm sure are delectable. However, having become interested in health for the first time in my life, this wasn't a meal I was eager to eat on a daily basis, trying as I was to avoid wheat, dairy, and mammals. Plus, I was living off of student loans during the year in which the dollar crashed below the Euro. I took to doing most of my shopping at a discount grocer on the outskirts of town where one could pick up cut-rate wines, cheeses, and packets of smoked salmon, all for under a Euro. (I'm lucky I didn't pick up a case of food poisoning while I was at it.)

    cauliflower on chopping board

    As for cooking at home, following recipes was challenging as we had no measuring equipment save for a tiny scale that my housemate used to weigh out her daily pasta ration. (This is one reason that I try to add gram measurements to my recipes!) That year, I survived mainly on a diet of risotto, salads, and sorbetti, while my best friend and I, homesick for the diverse cuisines of California, occasionally tried to emulate Mexican and Indian food in our small, poorly equipped kitchens.

    roasted cauliflower

    One of the first things I recall cooking in our dorm-like room was rice in a cheap, non-stick pot we had purchased from a street market. Growing up, my family had eschewed Teflon, thus I didn't realize how sensitive the stuff was. Similarly clueless about how to cook rice, I stirred the mixture vigorously with a metal spoon as it simmered away. Unsurprisingly, I turned out a pot of white goo flecked with black shards of non-stick coating. That gluey, grey substance is the first thing my mind flashes to when asked about the cuisine of Bologna.

    roasted squash

    We threw the pot away, and I eventually learned how to cook rice without it becoming a toxic glob. We managed to track down curry powder and coconut milk with which we made what we referred to as fake Indian food. Sauteed onions and potatoes, sometimes chicken, simmered with the spice mixture and coconut milk became a lovely curry-like substance that went into our regular rotation.

    ginger and garlic on table

    I realized how little I still know about curry when I brought up the subject with Nik and Phi at a recent trip to a chaat house in the South Bay. Nik told me that curry powder was a Western confabulation, as was the term curry, which enveloped the broad category of spiced dishes cooked with a gravy. (Though I just consulted Wikipedia on the subject, and it turns out curries can be either saucy or dry.)

    spices in pan

    In any case, this particular curry came about in quite an accidental and fake-Indian-foody way. I was in bed with a cold and got hangry enough to tear myself away from whatever trashy movie I'd found on Netflix to take my mind off my stuffy sinuses. In the fridge were some leftovers from these stuffed poblanos – quinoa, peppers, and roasted butternut squash. Craving something warm and soupy, I sauteed up some onion, garlic, and ginger, added curry powder, turmeric and coconut milk, and we spooned the whole thing over quinoa topped with a handful of cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

    I won't say that the curry cured me, but I did feel much better the next day (and I even had some for breakfast). I've been making it non-stop ever since.

    curry being stirred

    When the poblanos I'd been getting from the farmers market shifted from tasting completely mild to insanely hot, we started using just enough to give the dish a bit of kick and adding bulk with roasted cauliflower. Delicata squash make pretty half-rings and they also simplify things since you can eat their skin. We've been cooking chickpeas to have in green salads, so I added a cup to the curry which lends extra texture and protein. And I finally caved and made my own spice blend complete with fresh turmeric which brightens the flavors a bit (though store-bought curry powder and ground turmeric will be tasty, too, should you prefer).

    Oven-roasting the vegetables separately builds flavor and helps them hold their shape in the final dish. The base is versatile, so feel free to trade in any seasonal vegetables that you like. I've included the poblano version below since it was a favorite.

    Soaking the quinoa for an hour prior to cooking rids it of its naturally bitter coating and helps it steam more quickly. But you can certainly serve this over rice instead.

    Roasted Delicata Squash, Cauliflower + Chickpea Curry

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    This is a versatile recipe that lends itself to many variations. Use any roasted vegetables you like in place of the cauliflower and/or delicata squash. Use cooked lentils in place of the chickpeas. Use pre-fab curry powder in place of the spice blend and half the amount of dried turmeric in place of the fresh. Add a few handfuls of spinach toward the end of cooking, or serve the curry over a different cooked grain. Our other favorite version uses mild poblano peppers in place of the cauliflower and chickpeas, which I've included below. To cook your own chickpeas, cover a cup or two of dried beans with plenty of cool water and let soak 8 hours or overnight. Drain, then place in a pot with plenty of water and a small bay leaf. Simmer, partially covered, until the chickpeas are almost tender, then add a teaspoon or so of salt to the water and continue cooking until the beans are tender but still hold their shape. Let cool in their broth, then refrigerate until needed, up to a week.
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
    Total: 1 hour 20 minutes
    Servings: 4 servings

    Ingredients

    For the quinoa:

    • 1 cup quinoa (I prefer white or multi) (7 ounces / 200 grams)
    • 1 1/2 cups water, plus more for soaking (12 ounces / 355 mL)
    • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

    For the roasted vegetables:

    • 2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil
    • salt, as needed
    • 2 medium delicata squash (1.5 pounds / 680 grams)
    • 1 pound cauliflower florets (455 grams) (3 cups)

    For the curry:

    • 1 tablespoon coriander seed
    • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
    • 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
    • 1 tablespoon ghee (or coconut oil, or other cooking oil of your choice)
    • 1 large onion
    • 4 large garlic cloves
    • 2 (1") chunks of fresh ginger
    • 1 spicy green chile (I used half of a hot poblano, but jalapeño or serrano are other options)
    • 5 teaspoons packed, finely grated fresh turmeric (or 2-3 teaspoons dried and ground)
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup water or chickpea broth (4 ounces / 120 mL)
    • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounces / 400 mL)
    • 1 cup cooked and drained chickpeas (6 ounces / 170 grams)
    • a few handfuls cilantro leaves, washed and chopped
    • lime wedges and plain yogurt, for serving

    Instructions

    Make the quinoa:

    • Cover the quinoa with several inches of cool water and soak 1 hour. After an hour, drain the quinoa through a fine mesh strainer and rinse it well to remove any bitter coating. Place the drained quinoa in a medium saucepan with the 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to very low, cover, and let steam until tender and all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    Roast the vegetables:

    • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400ºF.
    • Halve the squash lengthwise and scoop out and discard the seeds and
    • strings. Place a half cut-side down and cut crosswise into 1/2" thick slices. Repeat with the remaining squash. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil and a few pinches of salt, spread in an even layer on a baking pan, and roast until golden and tender, 20-30 minutes, turning the slices when the bottoms are golden.
    • Toss the cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast until golden and crisp tender, tossing occasionally, about 20 minutes.

    Make the curry:

    • In a small, dry skillet, toast the coriander, cumin, and black pepper over a medium flame until they smell fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Let cool, then grind finely in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
    • Peel the onion, halve it, and cut it into thin slices. Peel the garlic cloves, and slice them thinly. Peel the ginger chunks and cut them into slivers. Halve the chile, remove the seeds and ribs, and slice it thinly. (Be sure to wash your hands well with soapy water lest the chile oils burn your skin.)
    • Melt the ghee in a wide skillet over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chile, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is wilted and tender, 10 minutes. Add the spice mixture, turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook for 5 minutes longer. Add the chickpea broth to the pan and stir up any good stuff sticking to the bottom. Add the coconut milk, give it a stir, and bring to a simmer. Gently fold in the chickpeas, roasted cauliflower and squash, and let simmer 5 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the cilantro. Taste, adding more salt if you feel the curry needs it.
    • Serve the curry over the quinoa accompanied with a lime wedge to squeeze over it and a dollop of yogurt if you like.
    • The curry and quinoa keep well, refrigerated airtight, for up to a few days. Reheat before serving.

    Variation: Delicata Squash and Poblano Pepper Curry

    • Omit the cauliflower and the spicy chile. Cut 3-4 mild poblanos, halved and seeded, crosswise into wide strips, adding them along with the turmeric and spices. After you've added the squash, simmer the curry until the chiles are cooked enough for your liking but still somewhat firm. The chickpeas are optional.

      Accidental curry sounds just perfect to me ;). Love that you roasted the vegetables and all these incredible flavors! And I'm with you on Bologna - not the best food in Italy. I've found better in Tuscany and Rome, and there's a restaurant in Venice I still dream about almost daily.

      the curry (concept, label, spice blend, ahh) issue is something i've had on the mind lately. i thought about trying to ditch the word from my vocabulary but it's just so easy to refer to something richly-spiced and savory as a curry. (plus i'd have to rearrange some pinterest boards. /cry)

Your homemade version does look cosy and delicious! I'm also fighting it out with a wicked head cold...maybe I can dig up something spicy & wonderful and pretend it looks half this sexy.

      Did anyone really eat amazing food in college? No matter where you are, you still have to learn to cook then! I for one had a whole lot of tuna noodle casserole, sandwiches smuggled out of the cafeteria for late-night supplements, and salsa straight from the jar to make up for the lack of veg in our snack bar. So sophisticated! :) This curry sounds excellent -- and I think you've used half the veg we've gotten in our CSA box over the past few weeks too!

      There's a special place in my heart for the kind of 'fake Indian' food that you talk about here; that fairly generic 'curry' that they used to serve when I was at school and before I appreciated the range and versatility of Indian flavours. This looks like a bowl of pure comfort.

This easy little loaf gets a baklava vibe from sticky dates, toasted nuts, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey if you like. It’s free of grains, dairy, eggs, cane sugar, and can be made nut-free too. I use cassava, almond, and tapioca flours for a sturdy, tender crumb, but I’ve given substitution suggestions in the recipe. If you’ve got a couple of ripe bananas lying around, this is the recipe for you! 

Ingredients:
•nut or seed butter
•maple syrup and/or coconut sugar
•coconut oil or ghee
•plant milk
•flours
•baking powder and soda
•cinnamon
•vanilla
•salt
•toasted walnuts
•dates

Adapted from the chocolate-flecked paleo vegan banana bread recipe I posted last year, I’ve been making this cozy variation lately and loving the flavor-packed combo of spices, nuts, bananas, and dried fruit.

I’ve linked to my traditional less-sweet cream cheese frosting in the post, as well as a vegan cream cheese frosting recipe that I make with @miyokoscreamery plant-based butter and cream cheese. Or you can go paleo and top it with whipped coconut cream or thick coconut yogurt. Feel free to add any carrot cake mix-ins you like – pineapple, raisins, shredded coconut, or toasted nuts.

While I didn’t grow up in a religious family, I loved putting together this roundup of sweet treats that happen to be kosher for Passover. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic, my age (I’ll be 40 this year!😳) or following such inspiring Jewish foodies (Jewdies?) as @jakecohen, @zenbelly, @whatjewwannaeat, @predominantly_paleo , and @estherandloretta , among others, but I’ve been feeling super nostalgic for Jewish cuisine lately.
✨
Also, I had no idea how complicated the rules of Passover really are! I knew that wheat and yeasted baked goods were strictly verboten, in order to honor the hardship of our people traversing the dessert without time to stop and let their bread rise. But I didn’t realize that certain groups observe stricter rules, avoiding all foods that even *look* like grains, such as beans, legumes, and even cardamom! 
✨
I even asked you all in my stories to weigh in on the heated debate about baking soda and baking powder. Apparently they are *technically* kosher for Passover according to the letter of the law, even though I and many others always thought they were to be avoided. 
✨
Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you go meshuga for these recipes! A few favorites: 

1. GF Vegan Chocolate Tahini Tart
2. Brown Butter Macaroons
3. Vegan Key Lime Pie
4. Paleo Crepes
5. Pot De Creme
6. Almond Poppy Seed Eton Mess
7. No-Bake Brownie Ice Cream Sandos
