Squash with Curry Sauce

Adapted from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison

Serves 2 as a main

Curry Sauce:

1 onion, chopped

½ cup dry white wine

1 tbsp butter

Salt and pepper

2 tsp curry powder

1 tbsp flour

1½ cups stock or water

1 cup whole milk or a mix of cream and milk

Put the onion, wine butter, ½ tsp salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a saucepan and simmer, covered for 4-5 minutes.  Remove the lid and cook until the wine becomes syrupy, then add the curry powder and flour.  Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, over low heat, then whisk in the stock all at once.  Cook over low heat or in a double boiler, partially covered, for 25 minutes.  Puree, then return to the heat, stir in the milk, and cook until heated through.

While the sauce is cooking, slice ½ each yellow squash and zucchini.  Slice four to five mushrooms as well.  Saute them all in a medium frying pan with about a tbsp olive oil or butter.

When the sauce is pureed and warming on the stove, add the cooked squash mixture.  Tear in a few basil leaves or chopped cilantro.  Serve over warm rice.
