Growing Tip: Red Kuri Squash Harvest

The last time I told you about my Squashes, a litlle over three months ago, I was very happy about my growing Red Kuri Squash, and hopeful about my butternuts...

It turns out no butternut squash grew from these beautiful flowers in my Bean and Squash Square, but my Red Kuri Squash got slightly bigger and heavier, and a deeper orange colour over the Summer and the beginning of Autumn. 

I kept watering it regularly, oftener when it was hotter, never directly on the vine (or the fruit), but at its feet. Over time, the vine browned; I kept the squash on it nonetheless. It seemed happy!

And today, I finally cut it from the vine and harvested my first (and only) squash, a beautiful 475-gram/1.05-pound Red Kuri Squash!

Given the proper Adventure growing Squashes has been over the past few years, I am absolutely delighted with my little harvest this year. I have learned, I have been patient and I have persevered, and I have a gorgeous little squash as a reward! 

And, as growing this one has taught me heaps more, perhaps next year’s crop will be even more successful!

Our 2022 garden: deer damage and harvested squash

Our 2022 garden: deer damage and harvested squash

When doing my rounds, one of the things I’ve been making sure to check is for damage to the berry bushes we plants. Especially that one highbush cranberry that has been eaten, twice. Putting the old saw horse over it seems to be helping, and there are even the tiniest of green leaves appearing again. We’ve had a pretty constant and gentle rain since yesterday evening, so that is sure to be…

Clover Cotton’s Cookbook: pumpkin spice muffins

Hello dears, I am sorry I could not share another recipe sooner but there has been much to do lately. Bag End was in a bit of an uproar what with Master Baggins leaving with the Elves, then my niece got the chicken pox and I went to help Rosie around the house and I didn’t have time for much else until now.

But enough blabbering, here is the recipe! The pumpkin spice muffins are the perfect treat for autumn, especially served for tea with a warm cup of black tea or even at first breakfast for the ones with a sweet tooth.

The measure unit for this recipe is a cup. A literal drinking cup. The one I use is a 150ml coffee cup, which gives a dozen chunky muffins. If you live in a country that uses cups as a standard measure unit, use it and it should work all the same. It’s not so much the exact measurements that matter for this recipe as the ratios between ingredients.

Ingredients:

1 cup of mashed red kuri squash (or butternut squash if you can’t find the former, but its less tasty)

cinnamon and anise according to personal taste

2 cups of sugar

3 cups of buckwheat flour

a pinch of baking soda

2 eggs

1/2 cup of sunflower seeds oil or equivalent

Recipe:

Cut the squash into small bits and steam cook it. You can also boil it but I find it makes the batter much more waters and less pleasant to work with.

When the squash is soft enough to be mashed with a fork, let it cool for a few minutes then mash it until you have a thick, smooth paste.

Pre heat your oven at 180°C

Add ground anise seeds and cinnamon to the mashed squash. Anise has a very strong flavour so use way less of it than you think you should, it will still pop through the rest of the flavours and leave a pleasant aftertaste. I also personally like to ad the smallest dash of curcuma in the mix as well, just for the additional colour and flavour.

Add the sugar to the mashed squash and mix until you obtain a thick, almost liquid batter.

Add the flour, mixing thoroughly in between each cup. Add the baking soda with the flour. If the batter becomes too thick, add the eggs before the last cup of flour.

Once you have a thick batter, almost like bread dough, add the sunflower seeds oil and mix until you have a homogeneous and sticky batter.

Put the batter in a greased or oven-paper covered muffins tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a knife blade stuck in comes out clean.

Enjoy!

I'm a bit like you I have been trying to have more meat free meals. I need some inspiration cos I am sick of death of planning dinner every night until I decompose 😂

yeah the planning thing can demotivate a lot of people. fortunately for me i adore cooking, i have a lot of fun with it, but like most people i don't have that much time on my hands which is why i'm a big fan of batch-cooking! i cook big portions every time and then save the rest in the fridge or freezer for other days of the week or for when i don't have the time or motivation to cook

and for meat-free meals well i can give you a lot of ideas as i very rarely include meat in my recipes (i try to save it for when i got to the restaurant or for family barbecues, make it a little luxurious treat... quality over quantity and all that)

my main advice is to stack your house with a maximum of legumes and starchy food like every type of beans, peas, lentils, rice and pasta (preferably wholegrain) and a maximum of vegetables. like for exemple you just cook yourself some wholewheat pasta and then add a vegetable stir-fry on top of it and call it a day.

one of my favourite meat-free meals is definitely the chickpea curry with carrots, onions and leeks (or any seasonal vegetable instead), i also love a chili sin carne, i'm crazy about anything that has squash/pumpkin in it (part of the reason i adore autumn) like a very simple oven-roasted butternut squash with honey and feta cheese, or red kuri squash gratin. off the top of my head i'm also thinking veggie lasagna, red lentil dahl or vegetable crumble! yum 🤤

Griddled Red Kuri Squash and Chestnuts (Vegetarian)

These hearty Griddled Red Kuri Squash and Chestnuts make the most of your squash harvest, if you have grown them, and a tasty and comforting lunch, fragrant with Autumn flavours and full of the season’s colours. Happy Monday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

1 (475-gram/1.05-pound) Red Kuri Squash

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 small red onion

1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups cooked chestnuts (bottled, canned or sous-vide)

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1 heaped teaspoon fragrant honey like lavender or heather

Parmesan

Thoroughly wash -and, if necessary, scrub- Red Kuri Squash. Cut it in half, and scoop out the seeds. Then, cut Red Kuri Squash into wedges.

Place Red Kuri Squash wedges into a large bowl; set aside.

Peel and quarter red onion. Add to the bowl. Sprinkle Red Kuri Squash and red onion with dried thyme and black pepper. Drizzle generously with olive oil, and gently toss with clean hands to coat evenly in oil and herbs. Set aside.

Heat a large griddle pan over medium-high heat.

Once the griddle pan is hot, add the Red Kuri Squash wedges. Grill, over medium-high heat, about 7 minutes on each side until charred with golden-black stripes. 

Then, add the red onion quarters. Cook, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Spoon chestnuts into the empty bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and coat in remaining thyme. Add to the griddle pan. Cook, 5 minutes more, until toasted and hot, shaking the pan often.

Season with fleur de sel and shake the pan once more, to toss well.

Remove from the heat. Drizzle with Lavender honey, and shave a little Parmesan on top.

Serve Griddled Red Kuri Squash and Chestnuts hot, with a robust red like an Australian Shiraz or a tangy dry white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.

i love red kuri and kabocha squash.

im psychologically addicted to carving pumpkins.

and today i was gifted a beautiful ceramic foot soaking tub, which ive wanted for a long time. beautifully decorated with birds and flowers.

there are hard times but there are also such nice and beautiful times. i fully believe in God again. thanks be to God. bless everybody.
