Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 ½ lb. (¾-inch) butternut squash about 5 cups, cubed
- 1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes petite
- ⅔ cup quinoa dry
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (14 oz.) can white kidney beans drained & rinsed
- ¼ cup parsley flat-leaf, minced
- 1 ½ oz. kalamata olives quartered, pitted
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the butternut squash tomatoes, quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat so that the mixture is simmering. It should be a lively simmer.
- Cook until the butternut squash is tender when pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer half of the non-liquid mixture to a bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the pieces of butternut squash. Return it all to the saucepan.
- Stir in the beans and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
- Stir in the parsley and olives. Season to taste. Serve.
Notes
- *If you’re not adding the kalamata olives, you may want to add a little extra salt to compensate for the sodium in the olives.
