Pumpkin and Spinach Curry [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

By Sara Oliveira

There are so many varieties of curries — they can be hot and spicy, mild but complex, simple, and more. This pumpkin curry is an easy dish to throw together anytime. It is a curry par excellence during this chilly time of the year, where tender pumpkin is scented with a very basic mixture of spices and manages a naturally creamy texture without the need to add coconut milk or cream. It is a very comforting dish, which when served with basmati rice or cauliflower rice, will warm you up and keep you full.

Ingredients

1.5 pounds pumpkin, cubed

5.3 ounces spinach

2 tablespoons neutral oil or coconut oil

2 medium onions or 1 large, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons grated ginger

2 teaspoons mustard seeds

2 teaspoons coriander powder

2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons turmeric powder

1 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth, plus more as needed

Salt and pepper, to taste

Chopped coriander, to decorate

Chopped cashews or almonds, for topping (optional)

Preparation

Cut the pumpkin into small cubes. Wash the spinach and set it aside.

In a wok or large sauté pan, cook the chopped onion and garlic for a few minutes. Add the spices and cook for 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin squares, water, and salt.

When it starts to boil, cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until the pumpkin is fork-tender

Add the spinach leaves and season with ground pepper.

Cook a little longer. If you still have plenty of water in your wok, cool until it evaporates. Taste to see if you want to add additional spices, salt, and pepper.

Garnish with coriander and cashews or chopped almonds.

Big Apple Dumplings

Better Homes & Gardens

Nov. 5, 2020 at 7:37 P

Dylan Dreyer / TODAY

Servings: 6

"I love making anything with apples and this recipe is more fun than a standard apple pie. They’re almost like individual apple pies with a little surprise in the middle!" says Dylan Dreyer about this classic recipe from Better Homes & Gardens. "They’re a bit tedious and mine certainly aren’t as pretty as the ones in the cookbook, but they taste just as delicious and are totally worth the effort! It’s also a throwback recipe and makes me nostalgic, which I love. I believe they won a contest in the 1950s! I kind of want to put on a dress and an apron when I make these!"

Ingredients

2 cups water

1¼ cups sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup butter or margarine

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup shortening

1/3 to 1/2 cup half-and-half, light cream or whole milk

2 tablespoons chopped raisins or golden raisins

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 small cooking apples (about 1½ pounds)

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Preparation

1. For sauce, in a medium saucepan combine the water, the 1-1/4 cups sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup butter or margarine. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, for pastry, combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the half-and-half, light cream, or milk over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1 tablespoon of the cream or milk at a time, until all of the dough is moistened. Form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to an 18x12-inch rectangle.* Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut into six 6-inch squares.

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the raisins, walnuts and honey. In another small bowl, stir together the 2 tablespoons sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.

4. Peel and core the apples. Place an apple on each pastry square. Fill centers of apples with raisin mixture. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture; dot with the 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Moisten edges of each pastry square with water; fold corners to center over apple. Pinch to seal. Place dumplings in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Pour sauce over dumplings. Bake in a 375 F oven for 35 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is golden-brown. To serve, spoon sauce over dumplings.

*If desired, roll pastry slightly larger and use excess pastry to make pastry leaves for garnish. Roll out pastry and cut into leaf shapes. Place on baking sheet. Bake in a 375 F oven for about 10 minutes or until golden-brown.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Cake

▢2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus more for sprinkling

▢1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, (see note)

▢2 teaspoons baking powder

▢1 teaspoon baking soda

▢1 teaspoon kosher salt

▢1 cup granulated sugar

▢⅔ cups dark brown sugar, packed

▢4 large eggs, room temperature

▢1 cup vegetable oil

▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract

▢1 ½ cups pumpkin puree,

Cream Cheese Frosting

▢6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to 65-67ºF (18-19ºC)

▢1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

▢8 ounces cream cheese, softened to 65-67ºF (18-19ºC)

▢2 tablespoons maple syrup

▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract

▢1/4 cup pecans, or walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Pumpkin Cake

Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC).

Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the pan, turn, and tap the pan to lightly coat the bottom and sides. Tap out any extra flour that remains in the pan, this will help prevent sticking.

In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil, until thick and smooth, 3 minutes. Add pumpkin puree, whisk until combined, 15 seconds.

Fold the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture, stir until no flour streaks, and just a few small lumps remain. Do not overmix.

Evenly spread the pumpkin cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake until a toothpick in the center comes out clean, or the internal temperature reaches 195 to 200ºF (90 to 93ºC), about 30 to 33 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 ½ to 2 hours.

Cream Cheese Filling

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle or hand mixer, beat softened butter and powdered sugar on low speed until just incorporated. Gradually increase the speed to medium, beating the mixture until light and fluffy, about 1 to 1 ½ minutes.

Add half of the softened cream cheese and beat on medium speed until incorporated, about 15 seconds. Add the remainder of the cream cheese and beat until smooth, about 15 to 20 seconds.

Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat until combined and the frosting is light and smooth, scraping the bowl as needed, about 30 to 45 seconds.

Cover and refrigerate the filling if not using right away. The filling should be cool and spreadable, about 60 to 65ºF (15 to 18ºC).

Assembly

The cake can be left in the pan and frosted. Alternatively, cover the cake with parchment paper, invert onto a sheet pan, and then place a serving platter on top and turn over. Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake evenly. Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top if using, or other desired toppings. Slice and serve.

Notes

Make your own pumpkin spice blend: 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (optional). Measure out 1 tablespoon for the recipe.

If you plan to remove the cake from the pan before frosting, cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Add the paper and coat the bottom and sides with cooking spray and flour, then add the batter.

Make ahead: The cake can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container on the counter. The frosting can be made 3 days before, refrigerated, and brought to 60 to 65ºF (15 to 18ºC)before using, about 30 minutes.

Storing: Tightly cover the frosted cake and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Using only powdered sugar in frosting: The maple syrup can be omitted. Keep the powdered sugar level at 1 1/4 cups for a more robust cheesecake flavor, or increase to 1 ½ cups for a sweeter taste.

Churro Topping: In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the frosting.

Cupcakes: This recipe can be used to make 12 cupcakes. Fill cupcakes liners ⅔ full and bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled down.
