For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash separately before adding it to the skillet. Toss the diced squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Feel free to customize the dried fruits and herbs to your liking. Dried cherries, golden raisins, or chopped pecans would be delicious additions. This stuffing can be made ahead of time. Prepare the quinoa and roast the vegetables separately. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, combine all ingredients in a skillet and heat through.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. (15 mins)
02
StepWhile the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced butternut squash and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes. (12 mins)
03
StepIn the skillet with the vegetables, gently fold in the cooked quinoa, green onions, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and parsley. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
04
StepDrizzle the lime juice over the stuffing and toss gently. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired. Serve hot.
