Butternut Squash Quinoa Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve under running water, then drain. Transfer to a medium saucepan; add 1 3/4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until it browns and smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Add the squash, onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is golden brown and tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• While the squash cooks, make the tahini sauce: Whisk together the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Once the squash is golden and tender, add the kale to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the kale is slightly wilted, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the cooked quinoa and vegetables to a large bowl. Stir in the dried cranberries and pecans. Serve warm or cold with the tahini sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add butternut squash and zucchini; toss until coated. Place butternut squash and zucchini onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, tossing once half way through, until soft, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
• Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Combine remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, butternut squash, zucchini, quinoa, kale, parsley, raisins, red onion, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a bowl; toss until salad is combined.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, thyme, and paprika and saute until onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add chicken and boil until meat is no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove chicken to cool.
• Stir squash, tomatoes, and quinoa into the pot. Reduce heat and let simmer until squash is tender, about 15 minutes. Shred chicken into bite-size pieces and return to the pot to heat through, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a saucepan; add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer just until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove chicken breasts and set aside to cool, reserving water.
• Measure 3 cups from reserved water and discard any remaining. Pour the 3 cups water back into saucepan. Add quinoa and bouillon; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pecans and toss until fragrant and one shade darker, about 5 minutes. Remove pecans and set aside. Add butternut squash and 2 tablespoons water to the same skillet; cook and stir until just tender, adding more water if needed, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Chop chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces.
