Servings: persons

4 cups fresh or frozen shelled beans (about 1 1/2 pounds), such as kidney beans, cranberry beans, black-eyed peas or lima beans
3/4 pound pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
2 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 ears corn, kernels removed, or 3 cups frozen corn (two 10-ounce packages)
10 basil leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon paprika

1
MAKE THE PAPRIKA OIL In a large heavy casserole, combine the beans with the pumpkin, chicken stock and water and bring to a boil.
2
Cover and cook over low heat until the beans are barely tender, about 15 minutes, depending on the size and type of bean.
3
Heat the oil in a medium skillet.
4
Add the onion and carrot and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
5
Season with salt and pepper.
6
Add this mixture to the beans and simmer for 15 minutes longer.
7
Add 1 cup of the corn kernels to the beans.
8
Puree the rest of the corn in a blender.
9
If the puree is very dry, add a ladle of the bean cooking liquid.
10
Stir the corn puree and basil into the beans and simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently; the corn puree will thicken the stew.
11
If it gets too thick, thin the stew with hot water; it should be slightly runny.
12
Taste; adjust the seasonings.
13
Heat the oil in a small skillet.
14
Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until golden, about 2 minutes; discard the garlic.
15
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the paprika.
16
Drizzle the stew with the paprika oil and serve hot.
