Squash Bean And Corn Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine olive oil and 1/3 of the minced garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
• Remove stem from squash and cut each in half from top to bottom. Scoop out seeds and reserve for another use. Brush inside of each squash with the garlic oil. Place squash flesh side up on a baking sheet and roast for about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and chile and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic, the beans, the corn, the broccoli and the rice, if using. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until corn is bright yellow and broccoli is bright green. Stir in parsley, paprika, salt and pepper and continue to cook for about a minute. Adjust seasonings if needed.
• Remove squash from oven. Scoop corn and bean mixture into center of each squash. Serve right away.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, cayenne and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the pimientos, tomatoes, squash, water and salt and bring to a simmer. Cook the stew, covered, stirring occasionally, until the squash is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and simmer vigorously until almost no liquid remains in the pan, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and corn and cook until the corn is just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the basil.
