  • Knife
  • Pot
  • Stove

Ingredients
  

Base ingredients

  • 3 pounds Blue Hubbard squash peeled, deseeded, chopped into inch-sized cubes
  • 2 pieces Celery stalks chopped into small cubes
  • 2 medium Carrots chopped into small cubes
  • 3 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 large Onion chopped into small cubes
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 14 oz. can Canned tomatoes diced, undrained
  • 3 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1 cup White beans cooked and drained
  • ½ tsp. Paprika
  • ½ tsp. Dried thyme
  • ½ tsp. Dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp. Garam masala
  • ½ tsp. Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • ½ tsp. Ground black pepper

Serving ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. Raw pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tbsp. Fresh sage leaves coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Put olive oil in a large pot and heat on medium on the stovetop.
  • Add the diced onions and garlic and saute for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables to the pot. Saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes (with the tomato juice).
  • Add the beans, all the spices, and salt to the pot. When the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low. Close the pot lid and leave the stew to simmer for about 25-30 minutes. You can check the doneness by the tenderness of the squash.
  • Serve the Blue Hubbard squash stew hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds and sage leaves.

Notes

  • Since Blue Hubbard squash is a rather giant vegetable for one customer to buy, grocery stores and farmers' markets sell it in pieces. This is more convenient, of course. But you should be careful when picking sliced Blue Hubbard squash. Ensure that there is no discoloration or spot-like appearance on the pieces.
