Pumpkin Quinoa Bowl
This Pumpkin Quinoa Bowl is gluten free, vegetarian and full of fall flavor! The quinoa, pumpkin, cranberries, pecans and gorgonzola come together in a perfect blend of textures and flavors.
1. Begin cooking quinoa in water according to package directions. Some quinoa requires a rinse before cooking.
2. Prep the celery and pumpkin. Thinly slice the celery. Cut pumpkin in half then scoop out the seeds and goop. Carefully remove the pumpkin skin, cutting from the top in a downward motion. Chop pumpkin into one inch pieces.
3. Make the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, milk and gorgonzola until fully incorporated. (this can be done while the pumpkin is cooking)
4. Melt the butter and oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add pumpkin and cook for 10 minutes (until soft and slightly browned), stirring frequently. Add the celery and cranberries, cook for 5 more minutes. Add salt, pepper and pecans 1 minute before removing from heat.
5. Mix the sauteed pumpkin mixture with the cooked quinoa. Top with a dollop of gorgonzola dressing. Add some extra chopped pecans and gorgonzola crumbles to finish (optional). Serve immediately.
