Curried Rice and Squash Casserole

While waiting at the doctor's office, I often browse through magazines.  Invariably, I come home with a new recipe to try.  Since this is squash season...I thought this recipe was just the thing. I made a few changes and we enjoyed our curried squash casserole.  Pair it with chicken or white fish, and enjoy.


  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

  • 2 ½ cups diced squash
  • 1 ½ cups jasmine rice
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 – 14 oz. tin of black beans drained and rinsed
  • slivered almonds, optional
  1. Saute onions in oil until tender.
  2. Blend in spices.

    Sounds very tasty. But one question - summer or winter squash? I live in South Florida, so our growing seasons are kind of out of whack - if I had to guess, I'd say winter squash, but we're getting both from our gardens...

      I used a butternut squash...but any winter squash would be fine. I have also made it with zucchini (a summer squash) and it was good as well.
