BUTTERNUT SQUASH HOMINY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the squash, 2 teaspoons cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the squash is well coated, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Put the chipotle and adobo sauce in a blender with 1/2 cup corn and 2 cups water; blend until smooth. Transfer the chipotle puree to the pot, along with 4 cups water, the hominy and black beans. Cover, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Uncover, adjust the heat to maintain a fast simmer and cook until the squash is tender and the soup has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thin the sour cream with 2 to 3 teaspoons water. Thinly slice the radishes for topping.
• Remove the soup from the heat and add the remaining 3/4 cup corn, the arugula and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Stir just to heat the corn and wilt the arugula; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls; drizzle with the sour cream and top with the radishes.

THREE SISTERS BOWL WITH HOMINY, BEANS AND SQUASH

Steps:

• Place the hominy and tepary beans in separate medium bowls. Add enough water to each to cover the beans by 4 inches, and soak overnight at room temperature.
• About 3 hours before serving, drain the hominy and the beans and place them in separate 3- to 4-quart pots. Add enough cool water to cover the hominy and tepary beans by 4 inches. Set each over high heat, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally and skimming any foam that rises to the surface, until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Reserve 2/3 cup of the cooking liquid from each type of beans (for 1 1/3 cups liquid). Drain the hominy and the beans and set aside.
• Meanwhile, prepare the squash: Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of coarse sea salt. Arrange the squash in an even layer and roast until golden and very tender, stirring halfway through, 35 to 45 minutes.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the onion, chile powder, sage and a generous pinch of smoked salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the reserved 1 1/3 cups cooking liquid and bring to a simmer.
• Add the cooked hominy and beans to the skillet, then stir in the roasted squash and greens. Season to taste with coarse sea salt and serve.

SUMMER VEGETABLE RAGOûT

Steps:

• In a 12-inch heavy skillet sauté garlic in oil over moderately high heat, stirring just until fragrant. Add scallions, zucchini, pattypan squash, corn, and salt and pepper to taste and sauté, stirring occasionally, until zucchini and squash are golden in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Add broth and simmer ragout, covered, 3 minutes, or until squash is just tender. Add tomatoes and tarragon and simmer, covered, 1 minute, or until tomatoes are softened.
• Season ragout with salt and pepper and serve warm or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM AND LIMA BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight in water. Drain.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium flame. Add onions and garlic. Cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
• Turn heat to medium high. Working in batches, add mushrooms; cook until golden brown. Transfer to bowl and add more oil to cook remaining mushrooms. Return mushrooms and onions to pot and add squash, beans, bay leaf, and stock. Season with pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover partially. Cook until beans are just tender, about 50 to 60 minutes. Stir in kale and cook until tender, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt.

RAGOUT OF CLAM, HOMINY, SQUASH AND LIMA BEAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the sausages and boil for 8 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut the sausages into 1/4-inch dice.
• Lay the clams in a roasting pan. Top with the sausage, onions, endive, garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper, wine, 1 cups tomatoes and butter. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, then roast in the oven for 8 minutes. Turn the clam mixture and roast for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until the clams have opened. Remove the shells, reserve the clams and pour the remaining solids and liquid into a medium saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Drain the lima beans and add them to the pot and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture begins to stick add cup water. Stir in half of the squash and the rosemary and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the remaining squash and tomatoes and the hominy. Simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the reserved clams and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with polenta, couscous or rice.
