Healthy Quinoa Stuffing Recipes

QUINOA STUFFING

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.

QUINOA STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the stock and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the quinoa and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the onion mixture from the heat and add the quinoa to the pan. Stir in the sage and salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Transfer the stuffing to an 8-inch square pan and bake for 30 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley before serving.

SQUASH AND CELERIAC QUINOA STUFFING

Steps:

• Rinse quinoa, pour in a saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Avoid stirring and let boil until the quinoa absorbs all the remaining water, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add the garlic, onions, butternut squash and celeriac to the oil. Cook on medium, stirring frequently, until veggies are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Once the veggies are softened, add the thyme, sage, salt and pepper and stir coat evenly.
• Add the veggies to the quinoa in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Mix in chopped parsley, hazelnuts and olive oil and toss until everything is evenly distributed.
