THREE SISTERS HARVEST STEW
Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons water in a soup pot, add the onion and saute until tender. Add the garlic and jalapeno and continue to saute for an additional minute. Add remaining ingredients except spinach. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Add additional vegetable broth if needed to adjust consistency. Stir in spinach and heat until wilted. Serve topped with toasted pumpkin seeds. In Native American mythology, squash, corn and beans are known as the "three sisters". Interplanting corn, beans and squash in the same mounds enhances their growth and was widespread among American Indian farming societies. Corn acts as a trellis for climbing beans, which nourish the soil with nitrogen, and squash vines shade the shallow corn and bean roots.
