Recipe Corner: thanks to member Kate for this great idea! (www.kateinthekitchen.com) Andean Bean Stew with Winter Squash and Quinoa 1 winter squash of choice, peeled and cut into 1/2″ chunks � 2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed� 1 medium onion, chopped� 1 tbsp sweet paprika� 4 garlic cloves, minced� 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes, with liquid (use regular if you don’t have these available) �1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed well � 1 bay leaf �3 tbsp chopped basil or parsley In a sturdy stockpot, brown the onion in oil of choice, about 10 minutes or so. Add the paprika and stir to coat, cooking for a minute. Add in garlic and stir, cook for 30 seconds or until very fragrant. Add in tomatoes and their juice and cook for a few minutes to combine flavors. Stir in the beans and squash. Fill the tomato can with water and empty into the pot. The solids should be only just covered with liquid. This is a thick stew. Add more if necessary and put the bay leaf in the pot. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer, covered, until the squash is tender, but not thoroughly cooked- 30 minutes or so. Stir in the quinoa and simmer until the grain is translucent and the tiny thread appears- about 10-15 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
