Recipe review - Quinoa stuffed butternut pumpkin, KIS page 111

[Katiej]

I made this on Friday and served it with turmeric and chilli roast lamb (from KIS) and a Greek salad.

I followed the recipe except I used pine nuts instead of pistachios (my DH can't eat pistachios).  I also roasted the butternuts to almost done and made the quinoa stuffing earlier in the day. I finished them off just before I wanted to serve dinner.

The recipe was easy to follow and it tasted great.  I seemed to have half the stuffing over after stuffing my 4 butternut halves though? (maybe I'll only make half a quantity of the stuffing recipe next time).

Half a butternut each was too big of a serving size, but it did look nice on the plate!  My DH did manage to eat all of his though

Looks great Katie.

It is a large serving Katie, especially if served with anything other than a tossed salad.  I wonder if your excess stuffing would freeze OK?  We could also remove more of the pumpkin from the 'meaty' end for another use and use the filling over the whole pumpkin.

It looks lovely Katie. I love quinoa so will be making this.
