One skillet Pumpkin "rice"

Original recipe from naturalfitfoodie.com (heavily modified) (caribbean recipe, very forgiving)

INGREDIENTS:
1 small butternut squash
1 cup quinoa / rice / cauliflower rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 medium onion
5 cloves garlic
2 inches knob ginger
1 small lime
jalapeno or something spicy to taste

METHOD:
Peel and chop squash into 1 inch cubes

Add finely chopped onions to a pot with some butter and sweat. Once translucent, add ginger and garlic (finely chopped, grated or pureed)

After 10-15 minutes, add the squash with a tsp of salt and cook covered till tender.

Meanwhile, wash and soak quinoa for 5-10 minutes. Discard water and add grains to the pot with broth.

Cook covered till both quinoa and squash are done.

Add zest and juice of one lime with finely chopped jalapeno, red pepper flakes or paprika.

Serve with grilled chicken, cucumber salad or avocado slices.
