Pumpkin and Spinach Quinoa

Quinoa is my latest obsession. I stopped eating Pasta. Potatoes and White Rice. I'm cooking more recipes with Quinoa. Here's a great Thanksgiving Quinoa Recipe. I'm putting it on our Holiday Menu this year.






Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese


Here's what you'll need:
A Large Deep Skillet

1 C uncooked Quinoa. It should be about 3 1/2 C Cooked. (Cook according to package directions and set aside)

1 Large Onion, finely chopped.
1 Large Clove of Garlic, minced.
1 TBS Olive Oil
1 C Pumpkin Puree, not Pie Filling
3 C Vegetarian or Regular Chicken Stock
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 C Grated Fresh Parmesan Cheese, it has to be Fresh Grated Cheese. I can't be packaged and not the grated in a container.
About 4 handfuls of Fresh Baby Spinach Leaves

In the Skillet on Medium Heat:
Oil, until heated.
Add:
Onion
Garlic
Sauté until Onion is translucent. Stirring
