- 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
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.
