Recipe type: Side Dish

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked Quinoa
• 4 cups water
• ¼ cup pomegranate juice
• 12 oz or 1 bag chopped and cooked Butternut Squash (I get the chopped butternut squash from Trader Joe's)
• ½ cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

1. Place quinoa and water in a pot on medium heat and bring to a boil.
2. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until water is absorbed about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Set aside off the heat for 5 minutes; uncover and fluff with a fork.
4. Then mix in the pomegranate juice, pomegranate seeds, and butternut squash.
5. Eat up!!!

Notes

I used tricolor quinoa, but any quinoa would work.

This could easily be made into a dinner by adding chopped chicken!
