A delicious, hi-protein, and hearth healthy Thai-inspired curry
that'll knock your socks off!

Add your pumpkin cubes to a small pot of water. Bring to a boil and
cook until fork tender (around 15 minutes in total). Drain and set
aside.

(Skip this step if using oil-free modification) While pumpkin is
boiling, add extra virgin olive oil to a large pan or wok over high
heat. When the oil begins to shimmer (about 1 minute), break your
super firm tofu into 1" chunks into the pan. Sautè for about 7 to 8
minutes, until they begin to brown. Set aside.

In the same wok, add Thai red curry paste, along with 1 to 2 tb of
vegetable broth. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring the paste until
it begins to bubble. Add onions and garlic. Sautè until onions
soften and garlic is fragrant (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add red bell
pepper, zucchini, apple, green chili, and cannellini beans, along
with gochujang, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. Stir until all the
veggies are evenly coated.

Deglaze your pan with soy sauce, stirring so that the veggies are
evenly coated. Then, add the rest of your vegetable broth, along with
coconut milk (just the white part). Season with black pepper and
extra salt (if you think it's necessary). Bring the contents to a
boil and then reduce to your heat to low and cook until the
vegetables are fork tender (around 7 to 8 minutes). Remove about 2
cups of sauce and place in a bowl. Set this aside.

Blend the rest with either an immersion blender (for chunkier sauce)
or a traditional blender (for a smooth sauce). Place the blended
sauce back in the pan. Add back the tofu (or add it uncooked if using
oil-free modification), along with boiled pumpkin, and unblended
portion of curry sauce. Stir until everything is well-combined. If
the sauce is too thick for your taste, add a bit more vegetable broth
over low heat until it reaches your desired consistency.

To serve, add curry sauce to a bowl of long grain white or brown rice
(or just serve with some lovely, rustic bread!). Drizzle with any
left over coconut milk and garnish with fresh Thai basil leaves,
toasted pumpkin seeds, and a crack of black pepper.
