Butternut Squash, Arugula And Goat Cheese Quinoa
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 whole butternut squash peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes, about 3 cups chopped
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or chicken stock
- 5 cups arugula about 4 big handfuls
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- salt
- pepper
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted, optional for garnish
- Preheat oven to 450 F.
- Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
- Toss butternut squash with about 1 tbsp olive oil (possibly less, just enough to coat) and season with salt and pepper. Spread in one layer on cookie sheet.
- Roast butternut squash for 20-25 minutes, until fork tender.
- While squash is roasting, combine quinoa and water or stock in a saucepan. If using water, season with 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, butternut squash, arugula, 1 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar and crumbled goat cheese. Season with a pinch more salt and pepper. Toss well to mix everything and wilt arugula.
