Winter Squash Vegetable Medley

1/2 butternut squash, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/2 in. thick slices; other squashes or pumpkins will also work
2 cups snowpeas, in bite size pieces
2 cups green beans, in bite size pieces
2 cups Swiss chard or other leafy green veggie, in bite size pieces
Olive oil or other fat

Prep veggies.
Put oil in Dutch oven, covering the bottom well. Heat over medium to high heat. Saute squash in 1 layer for 2-3 minutes one side and about 2 min on other side. Move squash to another dish or plate, do more squash, repeat until all squash is sauteed. If other veggies are not cooked, lightly saute them in batches, adding oil as needed.
Mix all veggies together, adding oil. Stir or toss as best you can.
Cover and cook over low heat. Check and stir every 5-10 minutes, until all are cooked and soft, probably around 30 minutes.
OR Put in a crockpot and cook on high for 1 hour, then turn to low until ready to serve.

This can be made with any 6 cups of veggies - frozen veggies, sauteed veggies, canned veggies, fresh veggies - whatever you have available.
This can also be doubled or halved and still taste good.

This was fashioned after reading about sauteing winter squash in Ruffage: a practical guide to vegetables by Abra Berens.
