Description

Curry-spiced butternut quash, spinach, quinoa, and pecans.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Uncooked Quinoa
  • ¾ cups Vegetable Stock
  • 3 teaspoons Curry Powder, Divided
  • ½ Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Peeled, Cubed Butternut Squash
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon White Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • Salt To Taste
  • 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach
  • ¼ cups Toasted Pecan Pieces
  • FOR THE WHITE BEAN HUMMUS (optional):
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) White Cannellini Beans
  • ¼ cups Vegetable Stock
  • ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Cook quinoa according to package directions, using vegetable stock for half of the water (optional) and adding 2 teaspoons curry and brown sugar to the pot before cooking.

Coat squash with olive oil, white sugar, cinnamon, the remaining 1 teaspoon curry, cayenne, and salt to taste. Roast in a 400ºF oven or in a skillet until golden brown and fork-tender.

Add squash, cilantro and spinach to the cooked quinoa and toss gently to combine. Top each bowl with pecans.

I also loved eating mine with a big dollop of white bean hummus. To make the hummus, simply puree the hummus ingredients together.

The hubsters and I really loved this! We’re huge fans of anything with curry flavors, and they were perfect with the squash. I mixed in some regular potato too and cooked my quinoa fully in chicken broth (omitting the salt).
