Sausage and squash stew recipe

Chorizo is a great shortcut ingredient. It is heavily spiced (paprika, coriander, and cumin, just to name a few) so you don’t have to buy a lot of pricey spices to make this full-flavored stew. Here its flavors are complemented with chunks of creamy squash and wedges of sweet apples. Look for kabocha at farmers’ markets in the late summer and fall. If it’s unavailable, substitute acorn squash. The stew can be made up to three days in advance; store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.
