Ingredients
-
1 onionhalved
-
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 red kuri or acorn squashpeeled and cut into 2-inch pieces, skin and seeds reserved
-
1 cup crushed tomatoes
-
1 cinnamon stick
-
1 (2-inch) piece gingersliced
-
4 garlic cloves
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 cup fideos
-
2 cups shredded kale
-
½ cup pearl onions
How To
-
Step 1Preheat a cast iron pan over a high heat for around 3mins (until smoking). Add the halved onion with the cut side facing down, and let it cook for around 5mins until the onion has a black layer of char across it (burned black). Reserve.
-
Step 2 / Broth:Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Put in the squash skin and seeds and let it cook (while stirring occasionally) until the color darkens and some squash residue starts to stick to the bottom of the pot (around 5mins). Then add 2 quarts of water, tomatoes, ginger, garlic cloves, salt, cinnamon and the reserved blackened onion and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for around 1 hour.
-
Step 3After cooking for 1 hr, strain the broth. Press out as much broth from the solids as possible (that’s where the taste comes from) and return the broth to the pot.
-
Step 4Preheat the oven to 200°C. Mix the fideos with 1 tsp of olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Toast the fideos in the oven until they darkened in color and smell slightly nutty (around 4mins). Be extra careful s the fideos go from an ideal roast to burned very quickly! When done, take them out set them aside.
-
Step 5Drizzle the squash with the remaining tbsp of olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Put them in the oven and roast until they become dark brown but not fully cooked (around 15mins).
-
Step 6Add kale and pearl onions to the broth and bring it back to a simmer. Simmer for around 5 mins until the vegetables begin to soften. Put in the toasted fideos and the roasted squash and cook it. Stirr frequently until the soup thickens and the fideos become tender (around 4mins). Serve straight afterwards in bowls and enjoy!
