The Three Sisters for supper
I am having The Three Sisters for supper. That is a Native American name for corn, beans, and squash, the most important crops grown by most tribes in North America. It is a quick, inexpensive, nutritious, and tasty meal.
First I slice and dice a small onion and saute it in a little olive oil and add a couple of yellow squash. Then I add a can of pinto beans, a can of corn, and a chopped tomato or two. I let all the veggies in the pot simmer for 15 to 30 minutes. Meat is optional, but I usually don't bother because the idea is to make a quick and cheap meal. Whereas I cook big pots of pinto beans as a main course, I use canned beans for The Three Sisters to save time.
I like to eat The Three Sisters with tortilla chips and a mixed green salad.
