INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the squash

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add squash and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 18 to 20 minutes.

2
Make the farrotto

Add just half the onion and ¼ tsp salt to squash and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in farro, lemon juice, currants, just a pinch of nutmeg, 1 tbsp water, and a pinch of pepper. Cook until warmed through, about 1 minute.

3
Toast the almonds

Meanwhile, toast almonds in large nonstick skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and wipe skillet clean.

4
Cook the spinach

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and remaining onion and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, just half the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, ¼ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper and cook until spinach is wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. (TIP: For 4-servings, wilt spinach in 2 batches and return all spinach to skillet before stirring in coconut milk.)

5
Serve

Divide farrotto and creamed spinach between serving bowls. Sprinkle with almonds and lemon zest and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
