Unlike Indian or Thai curry, Japanese curry is more savory than spicy. This chicken recipe uses Golden Curry brand curry cubes that can be found in the Asian section of any grocery store. It's the definition of umami! Oishii desu ne!? (Delicious, isn't it?)

Black Bean Hummus
This black bean hummus is the absolute best hummus I have ever had. It goes great with toasted pita bread. If it tastes like it needs a little extra kick, add more lemon juice.
Zucchini with Chickpea and Mushroom Stuffing
A great vegetable dish that can be used as a centerpiece or as a side. Can be lovely when served with tomato based sauce and a green vegetable, or I have even had them with traditional roasted vegetables at Christmas.
Roasted Butternut Squash, Garlic, and Apple Soup Recipe
In this roasted butternut squash, garlic, and apple soup recipe, butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic are roasted in large pieces and added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. An immersion blender thickens without adding fat. If you prefer more savory flavors to spicy ones, use curry powder instead of cayenne pepper. You can use apple juice in place of cider, and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
