INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup white wine

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 1 cup vegetable stock

  • 2 shallots, chopped

  • 3 tbsp. butter

  • Fresh sage

  • Crushed red pepper, to taste

  • Boiled butternut squash (previously frozen)

  • 1/3 cup milk

DIRECTIONS:

Put butter in a pan and melt slowly. Add shallots and cook. Once heated through, add quinoa and toast for 1 minute. Once this is done, add wine and cook through until pan is fully deglazed and alcohol is cooked out. Once the wine has cooked out, add vegetable stock and cover to finish cooking.
