Three years ago, I had a couple Portland autumns under my belt and leaned towards
red kuri as my favorite squash. Everyone else at the FarMars seemed gaga for pumpkin, spaghetti and delicata but roasted red kuri was my pick. Clearly I then went onto red kuri overload, because I've gone another couple years without it. It was time to change that this month, and change that I did.
The red kuri has a soft, sweet taste and fabulously orange insides.
Red Kuri Squash, I appreciate you.
This past weekend, I mashed you with sea salt and cinnamon...
And
roasted your seeds with smoked paprika, sea salt, chili powder and some more goodness....
In fact, I made myself a cute little lunch for Monday in this recycled container from
Sonny Bowl...
It had mashed red kuri squash, cheesy rice (I know, I used sushi, I was out of brown and inspired by
Native Bowl, shh) and oven 'fried' chicken seitan nuggets.
Oven Fried Chicken Seitan Style Nuggets and Melty Swiss Uncheese
The Melty Swiss Uncheese is from the classic Uncheese Cookbook. Sometimes nothing beats a homemade cheesy sauce! I heart all the white miso in this one.
The seitan nuggets are from the Urban Vegan cookbook, and the breading is ala
Bryanna Clark Grogan, aka the legendary BCG.

i'v never had red kuri! now i really wanna try it. will have to wait until winter break!
I haven't tried red kuri either but I think there may be one on the table downstairs so I hope to get to it soon. Meanwhile Delicata are my favorite but I have yet to meet a squash I didn't like. Love the way you seasoned yours, and the roasted seeds.
I have never tried (or seen red kuri) not I want to try it. This fall I am learning to love squash.
Your love affair with red kuri is inspiring!
i just made the mostarella from uncheese and frickin' LOVE it. lovely squash :)
ps - i've got some chickpea cutlet junk in the fridge and am totally ripping off your chicken nugget idea.
Damn, those seitan nuggets look perfect! I've never had red kuri, but it looks super good.

Jordan Pattern is obsessed with Red Kuri. I may have to finally try it.
