Borlotti Bean, Squash + Chard Stew
This recipe has been adapted from Giulia Crouch's new book 'The Happiest Diets in the World' - a book which highlights the happiest diet for longevity across The Blue Zones of the world, with inspiration from food + lifestyle she grew up with in Sardinia. This one is is HEARTY, given richness + depth by the addition of red wine. The sweet squash, creamy beans and slightly bitter chard are the best companions.
