Autumn Harvest Stew Food

AUTUMN STEW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook and stir meat until brown.
• Drain off fat.
• Cook and stir onions with meat until onions are tender, almost 5 minutes.
• Stir in all remaining ingredients; heat to boiling.
• Reduce heat; cover and simmer at least 40 minutes or till vegetables are tender.

AUTUMN CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• Peel the pumpkin or squash.
• Remove the seeds and any fibrous bits and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• In a large bowl, heat the oil and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the cinnamon and, if using the ground ginger, stir that in too.
• If you are using fresh, it will be added later.
• Cook for a couple more minutes and then add in the chicken.
• Fry until the chicken is browned slightly on all sides.
• Add the tomatoes and sugar.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper if you like, although I don't feel the dish needs any, and then add the chickpeas and pumpkin.
• Make sure the dish is evenly mixed and then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is tender.
• If you are using fresh ginger, add it in about half way through this process.
• Once the pumpkin is cooked, depending on how runny you like your stew, you may want to thicken it up with a bit of cornstarch and water.
• Just mix the two together and stir in the stew and leave for a couple minutes to thicken.
• Stir in the chopped coriander just before serving.

HARVEST STEW

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup dressing in large deep skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 min. or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm.
• Cook onions in remaining dressing in same skillet 3 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes and broth; stir. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 8 to 10 min. or until potatoes are tender.
• Add beans, ham, apples and chicken; simmer, covered, 5 min. or until chicken is done. Stir in thyme just before serving.

THREE SISTERS HARVEST STEW

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.

AUTUMN HARVEST AND CHICKPEA STEW (MIDDLE EASTERN INSPIRED)

Steps:

• Begin by rinsing all of your veggies and preparing them for chopping.
• Slice the onion into slivers, slice the mushrooms into thin pieces and chop the carrot into circles. Then chop the tomato, sweet potato, pumpkin and butternut squash into 1-2 inch square cubes. There is no need to chop up the leafy greens as they will wilt, however if you would like to make them smaller you can rip them apart with your hands.
• In a large pot heat some oil, and begin sautéing onions adding in half of the spice mix. Let the onions saute and become fragrant. Once the onions have cooked through and are golden brown start adding in all of the veggies(but not the greens). Allow the veggies to cook for 1-2 minutes in the spices.
• Add in the remainder of the spice mix along with the chickpeas, tomato paste and veggie broth. You want the veggies to be fully submerged in liquid so if the veggie broth is not enough you can add in more, or add in some water to top it off.
• Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot and leave it to cook until all of the veggies are soft(30-40 mins).
• Once all of the veggies are softened go ahead and add in your leafy greens, gently mixing everything as to not mush any of the veggies. Once the greens have slightly wilted(no more than 5 mins) go ahead and turn off the heat and serve!
