Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups vegetable stock
2 cups quinoa
¼ cup olive oil
1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and diced
2 small zucchinis, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup diced dried apricots
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lime, juiced, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to low, and stir in quinoa. Cover pan and simmer until quinoa absorbs the liquid, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir butternut squash and zucchinis in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir quinoa into the vegetables and gently mix green onions, apricots, cranberries, and parsley into the stuffing. Drizzle with lime juice to taste.

I'm allergic to quinoa, so I can't comment on the taste of this stuffing. However, I'm grateful that there are recipes out there that cater to people with food allergies.

This stuffing was a disaster! It was mushy and tasteless. I had to throw it out.

This stuffing was okay, but I've had better. I think I'll stick to my traditional stuffing recipe next time.

I wasn't impressed with this stuffing. It was bland and lacked flavor.

This stuffing was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more broth or vegetables next time.

This stuffing is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional stuffing.

I've made this stuffing several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

This stuffing was easy to make and turned out great. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of quinoa, but this stuffing changed my mind. It was so delicious and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This quinoa stuffing was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! It was flavorful, moist, and had the perfect texture. I will definitely be making this again next year.
