The three sisters are essential crops in Native American mythology and agriculture. Here's a three sisters stew to enjoy all the hearty flavors of fall.
1/4cupminced fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
1tbspbarbecue seasoning blend
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven. Add the onion and sauté over low-medium heat until clear.
Add in the garlic and sauté until onion has reached a golden color. Add all remaining ingredients except for the cilantro, salt and pepper. Bring to a slow boil.
Once mixture reaches boiling point, lower the heat and simmer gently, covered, until all veggies are tender. This should take about 25-30 minutes, and your stew should be thick rather than watery.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, add in the cilantro and stir. Garnish with extra cilantro, and enjoy this nutritional meal brought to us by Native American agricultural practices!
