Directions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, squash, quinoa and raisins and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed and the squash and quinoa are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Gently stir in the spinach and cook until it just begins to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the walnuts.

    Delicious. The combination of flavors and textures makes this keeper. This makes a lot. Since there is just the Hubs and myself, I halved it the 2nd time around. Enough for dinner and great as lunch the next day.

    This hit all the right notes. I thought it might lack a bit of something without adding any seasonings, but all the ingredients combined into the perfect bite. I followed the recipe exactly, except I don't like buying leeks, so I sauted half of a sweet yellow onion. The rest I followed as written and it was excellent. I will be making this again.

    Method was easy and quick, which lends to creative ways to change out veggies & spices. You hit this right out of the park!
