Quinoa Stuffed Sugar Pumpkin Recipes
QUINOA-STUFFED SUGAR PUMPKIN
You've enjoyed quinoa stuffed peppers and love everything about the ancient grain, but what about pairing it with pumpkin? One cup of quinoa has eight grams of protein and five grams of fiber, and even a dose of omega-3 fatty acids.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a sharp knife to cut a circle around each pumpkin stem. Carefully pull on the stems to remove the tops of the sugar pumpkins. Reach inside with a spoon and remove the seeds and strings. Lightly grease and salt the inside of each pumpkin. Replace the tops and bake until fully cooked-the inside flesh should be soft and easily pierced by a fork yet still maintain its structure-about one hour.
- Meanwhile, place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse in cold water for several minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon Earth Balance in a one-and-one-half -quart saucepan on medium-low heat. Stir in the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa, half a teaspoon salt, and two cups water and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until all of the water is fully absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Add the apples, cinnamon, ginger, cranberries, pecans, and one tablespoon Earth Balance to the hot quinoa and stir until well combined and the buttery spread has melted.
- Fill the hot pumpkins with the quinoa mixture. Use the pumpkin tops or, if they're too soft, aluminum foil to cover the pumpkins and bake until heated throughout, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for five minutes. Remove the tops or foil, slice each pumpkin in half, and serve.

- Preheat the oven to 400º F. Meanwhile, cut the tops off of 6 mini pumpkins and remove the seeds. The seeds can be discarded, but they can also be reserved for roasting, much like larger pumpkin seeds. Lightly brush olive oil over the insides and outsides of the pumpkin bottoms and tops and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 25-30 minutes with the tops on the pumpkins. The pumpkins are done when the inner flesh is tender.
- After placing the pumpkins in the oven, make the quinoa. First rinse the quinoa well and then combine 1 cup of quinoa in a sauce pan with 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook covered until all of the liquid is absorbed. This will take 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sauté the mushrooms and leeks in 2 teaspoons of olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan and cook 1 more minute. Next, add the white wine and cook until the wine is mostly evaporated. Season with the salt and pepper. By now the quinoa should be done cooking. Measure 2 cups of cooked quinoa into the skillet with the mushrooms and leeks. Stir to evenly combine.
- Remove the cooked pumpkins from the oven and spoon the quinoa pilaf evenly into each pumpkin. Consider garnishing with a little parsley for added color. Serve immediately.
