Potaje

(Best of VT)

1 ¹/₂ cups cubed butternut or buttercup squash, with peel*
1 cup cubed potatoes, cubed
1 cup cold water
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes
¹/₄ teaspoon cumin, or to taste
1 cup cooked cannelloni or other white beans
8 - 10 large collard leaves, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

*I cut the peel off the squash, which means that it will take less time to simmer until tender in the first step.

On low heat simmer the squash, potatoes, and water. Cook for about 30 minutes or until a fork pierces squash peel easily (if you're using the peel that is).

Add onion, tomatoes, and cumin and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Add beans, collard leaves, salt and black pepper and simmer for 5 minutes more. Serve with rice and your favorite hot sauce.
