Peachy Casserole

4 cups bouillon
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon oregano
pinch cayenne, to taste
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 28-ounce can tomatoes, undrained, broken up
1 pound winter squash,
1 pound red potatoes, cut in 1/2” chunks
1 pound sweet potatoes, cut in 1/2” chunks
2 cups corn
2 cups frozen peaches, cut in bite-size pieces
cooked whole grains

 

Pierce the squash with a knife in 2 or 3 places. Set in a microwave dish and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until it can be cut easily. When cool enough to handle, cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into bite-size pieces; peel or not, as you wish.

Combine the bouillon, onion, garlic, pepper, oregano and cayenne in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer while preparing the vegetables. Add the vinegar, tomatoes, squash, potatoes and sweet potatoes. Return to boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the corn and peaches, adjust the seasoning and heat through. Serve over whole grains.
