“A low-fat, low-gi veggie supper that is packed full of flavour, and is quick to make too”

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • olive oil
  • 1 tbsp mild chilli powder
  • 1 kg butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 100 g quinoa, soaked in cold water for 10 minutes
  • 800 g tomato polpa
  • 400 g red kidney beans, drained
  • small bunch coriander, chopped

Cook the onion and garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil until soft (about 7 minutes). Add the chilli powder, cook for a minute then add the squash, quinoa and tomatoes.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the squash and quinoa are tender and the sauce has thickened. Add the beans and heat through. Stir in the coriander and serve in bowls.

Notes : This was great, we used it in a make your own wrap dinner, in which I laid out Ricotta, lettuce, Jalepenos, etc.  The reason why this dish only received 3 out of 5 stars, was that it wasn’t easy on the stomach… the gas this stuff gives you is legendary.
