Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6-7 cups cubed butternut squash (from about 1 medium squash)
  • 2 medium apples, cubed, skins on (about 2 cups)
  • 2-3 cups unsalted vegetable or chicken stock
  • ½ cup full fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
