Hearty Butternut Squash and Quinoa Stew

This hearty stew has quickly become a wintertime favorite in my home. A low calorie, low fat, vegan option, this stew is the perfect solution to comfort food cravings. 

Need another reason to try this stew? Butternut squash is high in Vitamins A and
C, as well as fiber!

You Will
Need:

{1
½} lb. butternut squash, peeled, seeded & chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

{3
½} cups chicken broth

{1}
tbsp olive oil

{1}
medium yellow onion, finely chopped

{½}
tsp kosher salt

{4}
cloves garlic, minced

{1
½} tsp dried oregano

{1}
can (14 oz) petite diced tomatoes

{2/3}
cup uncooked quinoa

{3/4}
cup pitted and quartered kalamata olives

Freshly
ground black pepper to taste

{1/4}
cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

 

Steam
the butternut squash until barely tender, about 10 minutes. 

Remove half of
the squash pieces and set aside.
Steam the remaining squash until very tender, an
additional 4 to 6 minutes. 

Mash
this squash with the back of a fork or potato masher. Set aside.

In
a large saucepan, heat to medium and add olive oil.
Add
onion and garlic, cook stirring occasionally, until onion is starting to
turn brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add
oregano. Cook, stirring, for 1 additional minute. 

 

To
the saucepan, add tomatoes, butternut squash pieces, and mashed butternut
squash. Stir to combine.

Stir
in chicken broth and quinoa. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the
quinoa turns translucent, about 15 minutes. 

Stir
the olives, salt and pepper into the stew and simmer, uncovered, to heat,
about 5 minutes.
Stir
in parsley and serve.

 ENJOY!
