Three Sisters Harvest Stew image

This comes from a great book. Cooking Like a Goddess by Cait Johnson. The "sisters" are corn, squash, and beans. This is a hearty vegetable stew that'll warm you body and soul after a crisp fall day of raking leaves. Pair with crusty bread and apple cider, mmmmm. I've served this with great success at quite a few pot-lucks.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 -2 cup vegetable broth or 1 -2 cup chicken broth
1 large onion, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 large carrot, cut into 1 inch chunks
3/4 cup butternut squash, cubed (you can find squash already peeled and cubed in the frozen food section)
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained (or any other beans)
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon dried sage (gives an earthy flavor)
1 dried chipotle chile (or 1 teaspoon chipotle powder or to taste)
salt
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)

Steps:

  • In a large stew pot, heat the olive oil.
  • Add the onion and stir to coat with oil.
  • Saute until golden, then add garlic, carrot, squash, beans, corn, sage, chipotle, and salt. Add broth a bit at a time until you are satisfied with the consistency.
  • Simmer until squash is tender, then add chopped parsley and stir.
  • Serve hot.
  • I often sustitute a 10 oz. package of frozen pureed squash for the cubed squash for a smoother texture.
