Uchiki Kuri
A Japanese onion squash with vivid orange skin and a chestnut-like flavour that's richer and nuttier than butternut. Small enough to use in one go, productive enough to give you a dozen per plant. The skin is thin enough to eat, which saves peeling a squash — always a win.
in the kitchen
Japanese pumpkin curry
Cube (skin on), simmer in coconut milk with Thai curry paste, kaffir lime leaves, and a splash of fish sauce. The chestnutty flesh absorbs the spices beautifully. Serve over jasmine rice.
