Quinoa & Sweet Potato Stuffed Acorn Squash

July 07, 2017

Quinoa & Sweet Potato Stuffed Acorn Squash

Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa is a complete protein - containing all eight of the essential amino acids. It has been recognized by the United Nations as a super-crop for its health benefits: packed with dietary fibre, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. It is also gluten-free and easy to digest. The facts suggest it is close to a perfect ingredient as you can get. Bring two cups of water to the boil to one cup of grain, cover, simmer and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the germ separates from the seed. When cooked, the quinoa should still be slightly al dente.
