Sauté an onion in a Dutch oven. Add some chopped garlic. Chop up some butternut squash and toss it in. Chop up some fennel and add it in too. Add ancho chile powder, and a little cumin. Stir it up. Chop up a boneless chicken breast and toss it in the pot. Add a beer. Chop up and add a handful of cilantro and some hot chiles to taste. You may need to add a bit of stock or water at this point. Chop up plenty of mushrooms and toss them into the mix. Put the lid on and simmer for a while. Feed the cats and the dog. Maybe have a beer. Mix a tablespoon of flour with the same amount of butter to create a paste. Add the paste and stir it into the stew. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes more and serve.

This sounds totally yum.
Does the squash maintain its chunks or does it turn into mashed squash? Just trying to get the picture here, as it sounds quite delicious either way.
At least the cats and dogs get fed!
the chunks soften but retain their shape

If you think I’m going all the way to Holland just to knock up some grub you are nuts!!..;-)
OK, so where you are, what do you call an enamel-coated cast iron pot with lid? I grew up calling them Dutch ovens.
