- Add the chili powder, stir the chili round & fry for about 1 minute to give its aroma's off. Add a bit more of the EVOO is necessary. Then add the chopped butternut squash, quinoa, 2 tins of chopped tomatoes & 3/4 empty can of tomatoes filled with water. Stir everything well round & cook until it has thickened a lot, the quinoa & the veggies are cooked through. Cook with the lid 3/4 on & it will take about 20 to 25 minutes. From time to time, stir everyhting well round to prevent sticking or turn the heat a bit down. Take the lid off if you want to.
