Norma Condo is the chef behind Miqmak Catering Indigenous Kitchen, the first permanent Indigenous-owned restaurant in Montreal. Her casserole recipe uses squash, corn and beans—a trio known as the “Three Sisters” because they grow together as a unit, with the cornstalks holding up the beans while the squash protects the roots at the base.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced tomatoes

  • 1 butternut squash

  • 5 cups corn kernels

  • 2 cups navy beans, cooked or canned, drained

Instructions

  • Pour tomatoes into a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth. Peel butternut squash, and then halve lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds. Cut squash into small cubes.

  • Combine tomatoes and squash in a pot over medium-low. Simmer for 20 min.

  • Add corn and beans. Continue simmering until squash is tender, about 15 min more.
