In a large sauce pan, combine beans and hominy. Cover in apple cider, and add 1/2 tsp maple flavor and a small splash of liquid smoke. Simmer until it begins to thicken.

In a large pan, heat walnut oil and cook onion on medium high heat until it starts to brown.

Add corn kernels, chopped sage and squash, and sautée/sear on medium high heat, stirring often, until edges are crisp and squash is lightly cooked but still firm
