A warm and comforting dish, slightly sweet and with a lovely aroma. A bowl of this Quinotto is the perfect comfort food for those cozy nights indoors. Similar to a risotto, but due to the quinoa its higher in protein, also it's vegan and free of gluten, so quite a healthy and easy option for any meal.

Description

A warm and comforting dish, slightly sweet and with a lovely aroma. A bowl of this Quinotto is the perfect comfort food for those cozy nights indoors. Similar to a risotto, but due to the quinoa its higher in protein, also it's vegan and free of gluten, so quite a healthy and easy option for any meal.

Instructions

1. Cook the pumpkin in boiling water (only so that the water covers the pumpkin slightly), once tender drain and place in a blender or food processor together with 1 tbsp of olive oil.

2. Blend until smooth like a puree, combine with the cooked quinoa, add some salt and pepper and top with fresh rosemary leaves for a tasty final touch.
