Quinoa

White Rice, Brown Rice, Wild Rice

Add extra protein

Add chickpeas or black/brown beans

Cook quinoa and set aside.
Chop and prepare the vegetables. Make sure the butternut squash is chopped small so it cooks well.
In a large non-stick pan, sauté onion, butternut squash, and celery in ¼ cup of vegetable broth (or 2 tablespoon of olive oil) for about 20 minutes until golden brown, the squash is fork-tender and caramelized.
Once the vegetables are done, combine the quinoa and veggies in the pan. Add the spices and the other ¼ cup of the vegetable broth and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Stir in fresh chopped parsley.
Serve and enjoy!
