Author Notes: Creamy and a little spicy – this is a favorite summer side dish. But it’s also good on it’s own over rice. —Erin McDowell
Serves: 4
Ingredients
-
1
tablespoon oil
-
1
red onion, diced
-
3
cloves garlic, minced
-
2
summer squash, diced

1
basket mushrooms, quartered

salt, to taste
-
2
tablespoons red curry paste (or more to taste)
-
1
(14 oz) can coconut milk
-
fresh chopped cilantro, as needed for garnish
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
- Add the squash and mushrooms, and saute until beginning to become tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt.
