Ingredients

  • 1 Butternut Squash
  • 1 cup Chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup Red Quinoa cooked
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 large handful Fresh Spinach
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp Harissa Seasoning or more to taste
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Cut butternut squash in half, scoop out the seeds and put both pieces on a lined baking sheet (cut side up).
  • Bake for 45 to 60 minutes (depending on its size) until fork tender. Finely dice onion and garlic and sauté on medium heat with a splash of water until slightly browned and fragrant.
  • Add chickpeas, spinach (chopped), quinoa, lemon juice, pomegranate seeds, harissa seasoning, salt and pepper (to taste). 
  • When butternut squash is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit to scoop out some of the flesh (but just enough to have space for the filling).
  • Stuff with the chickpea mix and put it back in the oven for 5 minutes or just enjoy as it is!
