Savory Pumpkin Quinoa

By gsullivan81

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked quinoa
• 2 1/4 cups water
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 green pepper, diced
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence

Preparation

Step 1

Wash and drain the quinoa. Combine it with 2 1/4 cups of fresh water in a pot and bring it to a boil.

Cover the quinoa with a lid and turn off the heat. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the water and cook.

While the quinoa is cooking, bring the oil up to heat in a large pan over a burner set to medium-high.

Once the oil is hot, add in the pepper and onion and sauté for 5-10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the pepper slightly charred.

Once the quinoa is done cooking, add in the pumpkin puree, onion, pepper, salt, and herbs. Mix thoroughly and heat it back up if the quinoa has cooled at all. Serve hot.
