  • A great dish that can be either a main course for vegetarians or a healthful side at Thanksgiving.
This dish is inspired by the Native American practice of planting corn, pole beans, and squash in the same mound. My daughter's school garden employs this practice as well and it's beautiful to see the pole beans use the corn stalks as a trellis.
