Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash
  • 1 14oz can aduki beans, rinsed
  • 2 cups zucchini, chopped
  • 2 cups bok choy, chopped, or another green
  • 2 cups bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp green onion, chopped
  • 2 servings Peanut Sesame Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the ends off the squash, then slice in half lengthwise and take the seeds out. Rub with olive oil and salt, pierce with a fork several times, then put on a baking dish cut side up in the oven, for about 20 minutes.
  • While the squash is cooking, toss the aduki beans with the chopped vegetables and the Peanut Sesame Sauce.
  • After about 20 minutes, the squash should be just slightly softened. Take it out of the oven, spoon the aduki-veg mixture into the hollow area of the squash. If there's not enough room, but the rest of the aduki-veg mixture into a small baking dish. Return everything to the oven, until the squash is soft, about another 25 minutes.
