  1. First off, tackle that butternut squash. Peel, deseed, and get it into neat little cubes.

Tips

  1. Want a zing? Toss in some red pepper flakes. Not too many, unless you’re feeling brave.
  2. For that luxurious feel, blend half the stew, then mix it back. Velvety goodness, I promise.
  3. Fresh rosemary or thyme, just a sprig or two, can lift the flavors to another realm.
  4. Fancy a swap? Zucchini or bell peppers can step in for green beans. But honestly, those beans have a special charm in this.

Serving Ideas

  • Hot stew, cold day – perfect match.
