This weekend we had our Thanksgiving potluck at our spiritual community. I signed up to take the vegan dishes of course. I made greens and this new dish I made up that is basically quinoa goodness! If any one can think of a good name let me know. The recipe for my quinoa goodness is below. I think it will be perfect on Thanksgiving day. I intend to rock the boat and suggest that we don't have stuffing and replace it with my quinoa. If you don't see any blog entries from me you will know that I have been viciously attacked by my family because I thought stuffing was too stuffy!
Quinoa goodness
1 cup of quinoa
1 apple, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 dried cranberries
1/2 chopped pecans
1 cup water
1 cup butternut squash soup
2 tbs of fresh chopped sage, or 1 tbs dried sage
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of coriander
salt and pepper to taste
In a large pan heat about 1 tbs of olive oil and saute the onion and apple. When the onion starts to turn opaque add in the sage and spices. Let this cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the quinoa, soup, water, pecans, and cranberries. Bring to a slow boil, cover and reduce heat. Cook for about 20 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.
Serves about 4 to 6 people.
