THREE SISTERS' VEGGIE BOWL
From deliciousliving.com with minor changes. 'Southwestern Native Americans employ a gardening method that combines a stalk of corn, a bean plant, and a squash plant on individual mounds. The corn provides a pole for the beans, the beans fix nitrogen in the soil for the corn, and the squash shades the mound to prevent weed growth. They're called "the three sisters." Corn and beans combine to form a complete protein, and the three together are delicious!' I used butternut squash that I had cubed and frozen back in late fall.

Steps:
- Note: For this recipe fresh sage can replace fresh cilantro if you prefer and you will have to reduce the amount significantly. Place the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften and lightly caramelize, about 5 minutes. Add beans and warm through. When beans are warm, remove pot from heat and stir in half the chopped cilantro and the lime juice. Season with salt, if needed. Serve in bowls, topped with reserved cilantro and other garnishes.
- Add squash, corn, chile powder, salt, and ½ cup water, vegetable broth or cooking liquid from beans. Stir well, reduce heat to medium, and cook another 5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until mixture is almost dry.
- Add beans and warm through. Stir in the lime juice.
- Season with salt, if needed. Serve in bowls, topped with reserved cilantro (or sage) and the remaining garnishes.
