Ingredients:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 2 tbsp dry thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

  1. Heat olive oil in pan, add chopped onion until soft and translucent, add thyme, then add quinoa, then water (can use broth if desired), bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until quinoa soft (but not tender) ~10-12 min- stir every two minutes or so, once desired texture is reached there should be very little if any water left, add pumpkin (i use room temperature canned 100% pure pumpkin) and stir, flavour as desired (i added ginger and pepper and more thyme, but i bet basil, oregano, parsley or coriander would all work wonderfully) stir to heat through, remove from heat and let sit ~5 to thicken into desired risotto texture, to serve - plate and top with fresh herbs and/or a little bit of cheese (goat or parmesan both sound yummy)
