Quinoa w/ sauteed squash
ingredients:
little olive oil
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 yellow squash, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 can diced tomatoes with the juice
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
water
kosher salt
cumin
fresh ground black pepper
splash of white cooking wine
instructions:
first, i sauteed the garlic in the olive oil in a large skillet for a minute and added the onion. sauteed that for a minute or two and then added the squash and zucchini and a decent amount of kosher salt. i covered the skillet and let that simmer on low (returning to stir occasionally) for about 30 minutes till everything got nice and soft.
then i added the canned tomatoes, including the juice, a sprinkling of cumin and a few turns on the pepper mill. stirred that up and left it for a minute or 2, then added the garbanzo beans and a splash of white cooking wine. after that simmered a few minutes, i added about 3 or 4 cups of water and the quinoa. I replaced the cover and let that simmer for a while...after about 20 minutes, i took the cover off and just let it simmer while the quinoa continued to soak up the broth...
