THREE SISTERS HARVEST STEW

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.

THREE SISTERS' VEGGIE BOWL



Three Sisters' Veggie Bowl image

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.

1/2 tablespoon(s) coconut oil
1/2 - red onion, peeled and diced small
1/2 - red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 clove(s) garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup(s) butternut squash, diced (fresh or frozen)
1 cup(s) white or yellow corn (fresh or frozen) (i roasted the corn kernels first)
1 tablespoon(s) chimayo chile powder or other chile powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt, to taste

1 cup(s) cooked pinto beans
1 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice
GARNISHES:
- sour cream

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.
