Ingredients

1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
Olive oil for frying
2 red onions, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
200g kale, roughly chopped
400g tin butter beans
Juice 1 lemon, plus extra
Greek yogurt to serve

Method

Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then add the squash cubes. Boil for 10-15 minutes until just tender, then drain. Keep the water.
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 5 minutes, then add the garlic, cumin and coriander. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the drained squash and 300ml of the reserved squash water, topping up with more water if the stew looks a bit dry. Simmer for 5 minutes until the squash is very tender. Stir in the kale, butter beans and lemon juice, then simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste, then serve with yogurt and extra lemon, if you like.
