Three sister's Mizithra [NA and Greek]
List of Ingredients
In this dish, Mizithra cheese is combined with the Three Sisters
of Iroquois cooking-beans, corn, and squash. Mizithra is a hard,
aged Greek cheese. A good Parmesan or Romano cheese may
be substituted.
1 small spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
2 cups cooked navy or other small white beans
1 cup cooked corn
1 red bell pepper finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable margarine or butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Mizithra cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1. Preheat oven to 375�. Pierce squash a few times with a knife,
wrap in foil, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (When done,
outer partof squash should be somewhat tender upon pressing.)
Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
2. In a medium sauce pan, combine beans and corn and heat just
until hot. (Or heat in microwave.)
3. Cut squash in half lengthwise and
remove seeds. Remove flesh by scraping
against inside of shell with a fork to form
pasta-like strands. Place in serving dish.
Add beans, corn, and bell pepper, and toss
to combine.
4. In a small saucepan, melt margarine. (Or
melt in microwave.) Stir in olive oil, pour
over squash, and toss. Sprinkle top with
cheese, parsley, and basil.
