This fragrant kabocha squash pilaf with coconut is a wonderful way to enjoy the natural sweetness of winter squash. By combining aromatic ginger and creamy coconut oil with fluffy basmati rice, this vegan dish creates a deeply satisfying base that allows the squash to shine. The addition of tangy, vinegar-soaked currants provides a bright contrast to the earthy ginger, making every bite balanced and sophisticated.
Ideal as a nutritious main course or a vibrant side dish, this recipe is naturally plant-based and gluten-free. The shredded squash melts into the rice as it simmers, infusing the whole dish with its golden colour and nutty flavour. Finish with a handful of toasted coconut flakes for an essential crunch that elevates this simple, healthy homemade meal into something truly special.
