QUINOA & BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN
This is a delicious, savory vegetarian recipe with butternut squash and cheese. The original recipe called for Gruyere but I used sharp cheddar instead. I think both would work quite well. This was my first time using quinoa in a recipe, and I'm really hooked. The little quinoa spirals are filled with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, making it a valuable addition to a vegetarian diet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Spray a 2-quart dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel and cube the butternut squash, then put in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until squash is soft and tender.
- Wash the quinoa in a fine sieve thoroughly (about 5 minutes) until water runs clear. This is very important, as quinoa has a bitter protective coating that can linger even after processing.
- Transfer squash and quinoa to a large pot. Add water and salt to pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and the quinoa blooms into little spirals.
- Remove from heat and let rest.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a small frying pan.
- Add shallots and cook 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook a minute or two longer, being careful not to let garlic burn.
- Pour over quinoa and squash mixture, mixing thoroughly.
- Add eggs, 3/4 cup of the cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese and bread crumbs over gratin.
- Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoons of olive oil on top and bake for 35-45 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Place the squash in a medium bowl and add 3 tablespoons of the oil, the thyme and 2 teaspoons of salt and season with pepper to taste. Mix until the squash is well coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread squash out into a single layer. Roast until a paring knife slides into the squash with no resistance, about 30 minutes, stirring about halfway through the cooking time. Put the pistachios on a small baking sheet and toast until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa in cold water in a fine-mesh strainer. Bring the broth or water to a boil and stir in the quinoa. Simmer, uncovered, until a small white spiral becomes visible in each grain, about 9 minutes. Drain the quinoa and transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the pistachios, cranberries, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl and toss with the hot squash until slightly wilted. Add the quinoa mixture and toss again. Serve warm or at room temperature.
QUINOA AND SQUASH GRATIN
I'm drawing in this recipe on the Provençal tradition of combining rice with vegetables in a savory gratin, but I'm substituting quinoa for the rice. You can serve this comforting gratin as a main dish or a side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a two-quart baking dish or gratin. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the summer squash, thyme and rosemary. Cook, stirring often, until the squash is tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl, and stir in the squash mixture, the cooked quinoa and the cheese. Mix well and season, then scrape into the baking dish. Place in the oven, and bake 35 minutes or until it's set and the top is lightly browned. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

ROASTED SQUASH AND RED ONION GRATIN WITH QUINOA
I have given you several winter squash gratins over the years; this is my favorite to date, because of the sweet layer of flavor of the roasted squash and the texture of the black quinoa.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Toss squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread on baking sheet in an even layer. Place in oven and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Remove from the oven and turn the heat down to 350 degrees. You should have about 2 cups roasted squash.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a medium skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add leek and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until onion and leek are tender, another 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat.
- Oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin. In a large bowl, beat eggs and add salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1/2 teaspoon salt). Whisk in milk. Add onions and leek mixture, squash, Parmesan and quinoa, and combine well. Scrape into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until set and the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes or longer before serving.

Steps:
- With a small sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully peel the squash, removing the yellow skin and green layer underneath. (The skin is difficult to remove, and you will have to peel the squash twice if you are using a vegetable peeler.) Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut in half lengthwise again; then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
- Put the squash slices in a large saucepan and cover with tepid tap water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain in a colander and transfer to a gratin dish with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
- If squash is prepared in advance, reheat in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes, until hot and lightly browned on top. Serve.

- Warm the oil in a large, nonstick pot over medium-high heat. Once warm, add the rosemary sprig and minced garlic; sauté for around 60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the butternut squash to the pot and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- add the quinoa and vegetable broth to the pan and stir well. Then, sprinkle the chickpeas on top of the quinoa mixture – they won’t become fully submerged in the liquid, but this is ok. Increase the heat to high until everything comes to a boil; then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20-23 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes before opening the pot and fluffing with a fork. Serve as desired; I recommend topping with some Tahini Dressing. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, or can be frozen and defrosted as needed for up to 2 months.

- Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine quinoa with 2 cups of water/broth and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
- Blitz your leftover bread in a Cuisinart until a mix of small/medium/large bread crumbs are formed. I do this even when the bread is still somewhat frozen. (You can use fresh bread too)
