ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH QUINOA
I love the flavors in this dish, and it is very quick and easy to make. It makes a good side dish, or can stand on its own. It is quite healthful as well, suitable for a diabetic diet, or vegetarian diet. Search online for 'quinoa', and you will learn its nutritional benefits if you have not already discovered them.

Steps:
- Dice onion. Peel zucchini. Quarter the zucchini and squash lengthwise, then slice at approx 1 inch intervals to obtain somewhat large chunks. The sizes for the zucchini and squash should be big enough to survive some heat without getting flimsy. We also want them to physically be the star of our dish. The onion has a supporting role in flavor, and should be small enough to blend into the background.
- Dissolve the chicken bullion into the 1 1/2 cup of water.
- In a large pan over medium to high heat, begin to sautee the onion, zucchini, and squash using the butter (or oil). When the zucchini and squash just begin to soften, add freshly cracked pepper and salt. Continue cooking for one minute.
- Add the water/bullion. Add the quinoa. Mix uniformly. Cover pan with a lid. Let the liquid just come to boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, covered and unstirred. Expect all the moisture to be absorbed by the quinoa when it is done. (Quinoa will cook like rice; one cup dry plus two cups wet yields 3 cups.). The squash and zucchini should still be sturdy, but cooked. Otherwise it was sauteed too long at the beginning.
- Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with freshly cut tomatoes, or cucumbers. I like to serve this dish with recipezaar recipe # 15580, Grilled Moroccan Chicken, as shown in the photo.

Steps:
- For the zucchini quinoa cakes: In a small saucepot, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate the zucchini and squash. Transfer to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooled quinoa, grated zucchini and squash, chives, dill, mustard, garlic and lemon zest. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper and eggs and mix together well.
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet until hot. Spoon nine 2 tablespoon-size scoops of the batter into the skillet and flatten slightly. Cook until golden on the bottom, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the herbed yogurt: Mix together the yogurt, dill, parsley, salt, pepper and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
- Transfer the cakes to a platter, top with a dollop of the herbed yogurt and garnish with a sprig of dill.
- To make the cakes in advance: Place the cakes on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven at 170 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
QUINOA WITH CORN AND ZUCCHINI
Sweet corn and nutty-tasting quinoa make a nice combination that is also nutritionally rich. Quinoa has more iron than any other grain, and it's a good source of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and copper. It's also a good source of protein.

Steps:
- Place the quinoa in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Let sit five minutes. Drain through a strainer, and rinse until the water runs clear.
- Bring the water or stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Heat another medium saucepan or lidded skillet over medium-high heat, and add the quinoa. Toast, stirring, until the grains have separated and begin to smell fragrant. Add the water or stock and salt. It should come to a boil quickly. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and translucent and each grain displays a little thread. Drain and return to the pan. Cover the pan with a clean dish towel, replace the lid and allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes, and add the garlic, corn and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the corn tender, five to eight minutes. Stir in the quinoa and toss together. Heat through, add the herbs and serve with a little crumbled queso fresco or feta sprinkled on top if desired.

QUINOA AND SQUASH GRATIN
I'm drawing in this recipe on the Provençal tradition of combining rice with vegetables in a savory gratin, but I'm substituting quinoa for the rice. You can serve this comforting gratin as a main dish or a side.
