Many of you have heard me speak with fondness of the fiber festival. Contrary to popular belief this festival does not involve beans and hearty cereals but sheep, llamas and lots of lots of yarn. So after an afternoon of purchasing an enormous box of raw wool, I decided to keep with the fiber theme and go after its other meaning.. food fiber. I stopped at the farmstand for apples for pie and picked up some squash for a Fine Fall Stew.
Cook on medium heat 5 cups of broth (I use salsa skimmings*), 2 cups of cubed butternut squash, 2 cloves of garlic, half a red onion, a Tablespoon of cumin. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until squash is tender.
Add 2 cups of chopped kale, a can of black beans (FIBER), a 1 cup of corn ( I chopped some right of the cob delissshhh!!). Salt and pepper to taste. Cook 10-15 minutes more.
*When making homemade salsa, skim off excess water that bubbles to the top when cooking down tomatoes. Keep in a jar or freeze and use for base for soups!!
Dood! Fine and dandy squash stew. clutch with the salsa skimmings. I'll have to try that this weekend after making a trip to the market. Did you try to make it INSIDE the squash because i heard of a girl that did that with a pumpkin once...form did not follow function
