Three Sisters Squash

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine olive oil and 1/3 of the minced garlic in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove squash from oven. Scoop corn and bean mixture into center of each squash. Serve right away.
