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.

THREE SISTERS PORK CHILE STEW



THREE SISTERS PORK CHILE STEW image

The Iroquois Indians cultivated and used the Three Sisters (corn, squash and beans) in their diet. Traditionally, Three Sisters Soup contains these vegetables in some form without incorporating meat other than chicken broth. I made a hearty version in a form of a stew using pork meat and a variation of the vegetables. Serving...

"THREE SISTERS" STEW



I was looking for vegetarian main dishes for Thanksgiving and found this one. I haven't made it yet but it looks delicious.

Provided by Ingen

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small sugar pumpkin or 1 large butternut squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 medium green peppers or 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cut into short, narrow strips
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 cups canned pinto beans
2 cups corn kernels (from 2 large or 3 medium ears)
1 cup vegetable stock or 1 cup water
1 -2 small hot chili pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 -4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the pumpkin or squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and fibers. Cover with aluminum foil and place the halves, cut side up, in a foil-lined shallow baking pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife but still firm (if using squash, prepare the same way). When cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp, and cut into large dice. Set aside until needed.
  • Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onion is golden.
  • Add the pumpkin and all the remaining ingredients except the last 2 and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, covered, until all the vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • If time allows, let the stew stand for 1 to 2 hours before serving, then heat through as needed. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro. The stew should be thick and very moist but not soupy; add additional stock or water if needed. Serve in shallow bowls.

THREE SISTERS STEW



Three Sisters Stew image

Because they were generally planted and harvested together and subsequently combined in meals, beans, corn, and squash are known fondly as the three sisters of agriculture to Native Americans of the southwestern United States. Together here they make a healthy, hearty stew.

Yield serves 4

2 cups dried pinto, anasazi, or red beans, thoroughly rinsed
6 cups chicken stock (page 91) or water

THREE SISTERS STEW



Three Sisters Stew image

My family bloodlines are the Chickasaw Indian. This soup is a tradition. The Chickasaws were farmers and ahead of their time. They planted their plants in groups of three, the oldest sister is corn, she grew straight and tall to watch over the others. The second sister is squash, she grew low to the ground too keep the feet warm...

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 c frozen or fresh corn kernels
2 c squash, (i used 1 cup zucchini and 1 cup yellow squash)
2 c beans/peas ( i used pinto beans and blackeyed peas)
1 c barley
1 small onion diced
4 clove garlic diced/pureed
2 can(s) (14.5 ounce) petite diced tomatoes
1 can(s) (15 ounce) tomato sauce
1 lb ground pork or pork stew meat (may omit for vegetarian choice)
1 lb potatoes, scrubbed and large diced
2 tsp morton's nature season
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper as desired
enough water or chicken broth to cover

Steps:

  • 1. Drain the beans and rinse lightly. Fry your meat and drain well. Set aside.
  • 2. Place all vegetables and meat in stewpot. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add seasoning. Taste and add any more seasoning you need.
  • 3. Add enough water or broth to cover. Then bring to a boil and turn heat down and simmer until tender. Serve with crackers, cornbread or fry bread.
  • 4. You may use any kind of squash and bean or pea and the corn can be yellow or white. You can change the meat around to beef or it can remain vegetarian. However, pork is the traditional meat.
  • 5. Notes: I have been using 1 can of Ro Tel mild tomatoes in place of 1 can of tomatoes. Second, I have some real finicky eaters that do not like some vegetables but to try to up the nutrition as well as flavor, I use V8 and a bit of Knorr caldo de pollo, a chicken bouillon. Everyone likes it very much. I also have been roasting fresh corn on the cob over the summer and roasting 4-5 ears extra and cutting that off the cob and using it.

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.

Categories     Stew

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.
