Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound uncooked heirloom beans (Anasazi, butterscotch calypso, cranberry calypso and chestnut limas)
6 ears fresh sweet corn
1 pound yellow pear and red tear drop tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds assorted baby squashes (patty pan, sunburst, zucchini, yellow, etc.)
Sage pesto, (recipe follows)
Salt, to taste

1/4 cup garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh sage, firmly packed
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1 cup pine nuts, dry roasted
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

Toast pine nuts in dry saute pan. Pick sage leaves and parsley so as to leave little or no stem. Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender, process until a pesto consistency is achieved. May store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
3 SISTER SAUTE: Sort, rinse and cook beans separately in plenty of water, salting at the end. Rinse and trim squashes. Peel husk of corn down, but not off, remove silk and dress corn again with its husk. Dunk in cool water and grill for 5 to 8 minutes, turning. Let cool and slice kernels from cobs. Rinse tomatoes. Heat olive oil in large saute pan, add squash saute for 1 minute, then in succession, keeping pan moving add beans and saute for another 1 minute. Add the corn and saute another minute, and tomatoes and quickly saute, add sage pesto, stir to distribute. Season with salt if necessary. Serve immediately.

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.

1 tablespoon peanut oil, plus 1 teaspoon
2 teaspoons sliced scallions, plus 1 teaspoon
2 teaspoons chopped ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic, plus 2 teaspoons
Pinch red pepper flakes
4 baby carrots, tops removed, halved lengthwise
4 radishes, quartered
4 baby turnips, quartered
2 tablespoons water
4 baby patty pan squash, quartered
1/4 red bell pepper, seeded, cored and cut into strips
1/4 green bell pepper, seeded, cored and cut into strips

Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

Heat a saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add 2 teaspoons of the scallions, the ginger, 1 tablespoon garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the carrots, radishes, and turnips and toss to combine. Add the water and saute for 3 minutes over high heat. Add the remaining vegetables and saute for 3 more minutes. The vegetables should be slightly undercooked and still have some crunch. Season with black pepper. Push the vegetables to 1 side of the pan. In the open portion of the pan add another 1 teaspoon of oil. Add another 2 teaspoons of garlic, an additional pinch chile flakes, and remaining 1 teaspoon of the scallions and stir just to soften. Toss everything together with the vegetables. Add the soy sauce and toss to combine. Add 1/4 cup spinach leaves and toss for 1 minute. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water to make a slurry. Add a little of the slurry and bring just to a boil to thicken. Remove from the heat and serve.
