Three Sisters Stew
"...legend these three plants when planted together thrive in the same way three sisters can be found to be inseparable. The Native Americans chose to plant corn, beans and squash in the same mounds, which created a sustainable system that provided for soil health and fertility. The connection of these three plants gives us a look back to how things were done when the America’s were first being inhabited and agriculture was in view as far as the eye could see."
Let's get back to our roots and make a simple and delicious meal to share with others during our holiday season. The Fruit and Nut Cornbread Muffins pair great with this!
Ingredients
Setup
Directions
In a hot large pot or Dutch oven, add the onion and continually stir until it is golden. Add a teaspoon of water as needed if sticking. Add garlic and cook for 60 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients + 1 cup of water or vegetable broth, except the cilantro and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Best to take off heat and allow stew to sit and then heat through. Serve with corn bread/muffins to get that yummy broth at the end!
