    Heat the olive oil in a medium pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and fry until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed garlic, ground turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes, then add the butternut cubes, coconut milk and vegetable stock. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the butternut is cooked, about 30 minutes.
