Pumpkin and Spinach Curry [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
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.

"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.
