THREE SISTERS STEW

Matt Mead, the governor of Wyoming, recalls being taken out by his grandfather on the family ranch to shoot his first duck for Thanksgiving at age 9, when he was so small that his grandfather had to brace him from behind to help absorb the kick from the shotgun. Game is found on many Thanksgiving tables in the state, but other traditions predate the hunt. The trinity of corn, beans and squash was central to the agriculture of the Plains Indians in what would later become Wyoming, and some cooks honor that history each Thanksgiving with a dish called Three Sisters stew. The writer Pamela Sinclair's version is a highlight of her 2008 cookbook, "A Taste of Wyoming: Favorite Recipes From the Cowboy State." The stew works nicely as a rich side dish for turkey, and can easily be adapted to vegetarian tastes by omitting the pork and adding a pound of cubed butternut squash instead.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound trimmed pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups turkey or chicken stock, preferably homemade or low-sodium
1 medium yellow squash, diced
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 (4-ounce) can roasted green chiles (1/2 cup)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Season pork with cumin, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add pork, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add onion to pan and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until lightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Return pork to pan, along with stock and squash, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  • Add beans, tomatoes, corn and chiles and cook, uncovered, over medium heat until stew has thickened, about 40 minutes. Add cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

THREE SISTERS HARVEST STEW



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

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.
