Ingredients

2 ears corn, kernels removed from cob

2 ½ cups diced butternut squash

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

¾ teaspoon chili powder

1 cup wild rice

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

juice of 1 lime

4 ounces queso fresco (can substitute feta), crumbled or diced

Pepper to taste

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the corn kernels and butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, along with the salt and chili powder. Spread the seasoned veggies in a thin layer over a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-35 minutes, until golden, tossing halfway through.
  2. While the veggies are baking, cook wild rice according to package instructions, then drain off any excess water.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked wild rice with the roasted corn and squash. Add the black beans, pepper, lime juice, and queso fresco, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) if necessary.
  4. Divide into 4 portions, and serve warm or chilled.

This is AWESOME!! Native American Culture is almost a forgotten heritage, but the "Three Sisters" is not only an awesome recipe, a wonderful story in our culture. Three Sisters Legend #1 From http://www.birdclan.org/threesisters.htmretrieved The three sisters are Corn, Beans, and Squash. They are seen as the three beautiful sisters because they grow in the same mound in the garden. The Corn provides a ladder for the Bean Vine. They together give shade to the Squash. The Cherokee till the mound three times.

I only recently learned the nutritional story of the Three Sisters. I tried an other recipe which exposed my lack of kitchen skills. Delicious but a mess. I can't wait to try this recipe. Looks a almost foolproof, even for me!
