Ingredient List:
¼ cup olive oil,
2 onions (sliced thin),
2 cloves garlic (chopped),
½ tsp paprika,
¼ tsp cayenne,
1 tsp oregano,
2 tbsp drained, chopped pimentos (1 4oz jar),
1 cup canned, crushed tomatoes (1 15oz can) in a thick puree,
1 butternut squash, ~2lbs, peeled, halved, seeded and cut into 1” pieces,
1 ½ cups water,
2 tsp salt,
2 cups drained and rinsed kidney buildings (1 19oz can),
2 cups corn,
½ cup chopped fresh basil (optional)
Directions:
1. In a dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until transluscent, ~5 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, cayenne, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant.
2. Stir in pimentos, tomatoes, squash, water, & salt and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered and stirring occasionally until squash is almost tender, ~15 minutes. Uncover and simmer vigorously until almost no liquid remains, ~5 minute. Add the beans and corn and cook until corn is just tender, ~5 minutes. Stir in the basil.
