Mexican Squash Stew
4 Mexican Squash, cut into quarters and 1/4" slices
2T olive oil
2T cumin
2T oregano
6C (or pint + quart jar) fire roasted tomatoes
1/4 red wine each jar to rinse them out
sprinkling of salt & white pepper
1/2tsp chipotle pepper
1/2tsp truffle salt
bunch of swiss chard leaf and stems, cut up (~ 1.5-2 quarts)
Heat olive oil over medium high heat in 5 qt pan/pot.
Add cumin & oregano and toast, stirring constantly - don't let it burn.
Add squash, stir well to coat, add more olive oil if necessary, saute until starting to get tinder.
Add tomatoes, rinsing each jar with about 1/4 C red wine.
Add rest of spices (chipotle pepper & truffle salt) and simmer to reduce to your liking.
Reduce heat to medium low to continue to cook off more water. Stir occasionally.
Any other veggies which are desired may be added.
Dump in the chard/greens and turn off heat. Stir it all in and let residual heat cook the greens.
Taste for salt, fat, acid, heat, and "fix" it to your desire.
