Winter Squash and Sweet Potato Medley
by Anne-Marie Fryer
These sweet vegetables are cooked for a long time with little water and a dash of salt. The salt, kombu and cooking method create a sweet, flavorful and strong dish. Many enjoy the peel of squash and sweet potato, so leave it on if it is tender, or use the peel in soup stocks.
2 cups winter squash cut in chunks
1 cup sweet potato cut in chunks
3 inches kombu (optional) cut into strips about 1/4 inch wide
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
Place the squash and sweet potato in a pot on top of the kombu. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Cover the pot, turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add tamari soy sauce, place the lid back on and gently shake the pot a couple of times. Simmer for 2 minutes.
If any liquid is left in the pot, take off the lid. Cook until all flavors and liquids are absorbed. Serve the kombu, seasoned with dashes of tamari soy sauce, with the squash and sweet potatoes.
