Instructions
- Cook the quinoa with the water and veggie stock if you wish.
- Add lemon juice salt and pepper once it's cooked.
- Add fresh parsley.
- In the meantime cut the squash into small cubes.
- Mix with herbs and oil on a baking tray and roast them for about 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 Celsius.
- Once the squash is ready mix it with the quinoa.
