Salt and white pepper to taste

3 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 Medium zucchini, fine dice

1/2 medium squash, fine dice

1 Shallot, minced

Preparation:

Combine quinoa, cold water, chicken stock and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallot, garlic, squash, zucchini and pepper in the hot oil until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir into the mixture in the skillet; cook and stir until evenly mixed.
