Curried Quinoa With Butternut Squash And Chickpeas
Curry powder, chickpeas, and squash are a classic combination in Indian cuisine. In this recipe, to liven up the curry flavor and add some welcome texture to the mix, I’ve also added fresh ginger, red wine vinegar, lime zest, and cilantro, along with nutty quinoa and crunchy pumpkin seeds. This dish is best made in the fall when mounds of butternut squash are available at the farmers’ market but if you crave this spicy salad during the warmer months, feel free to use frozen (and thawed) squash instead.
Cajun Grains
Author Jackie Newgent loves flexitarian recipes—dishes that can be made with meat or without. "This scrumptious whole-grain side is inspired by classic 'dirty' rice," she says. "Thank you, Louisiana! My version is made with a well-seasoned ground turkey mixture and beans. You can make a vegan version of this, too. Replace the ground turkey with 8 ounces finely chopped mushrooms of choice along with 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper—and use the vegetable broth, of course. If you wish, serve a larger portion as an entrée."
