Quinoa Stuffing

A healthier Thanksgiving dish your guests will gobble up

If you're looking to replace simple carbs with good-for-you grains, forget the white-breadcrumb stuffing of Thanksgiving past. Try this quinoa mix from Christopher Polidoro, executive chef at 95 School Street in Bridgehampton, New York.

Quinoa---the seed from the plant related to spinach- is high in protein, calcium, and iron, and this stuffing substitute has less fat than the old standby.

Yield: Makes 10 servings

   Ingredients

   3 bay leaves
   2 cups quinoa
   1/4 cup olive oil
   2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch cubes
   1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
   2 bunches green onions, chopped
   1 cup dried apricots,diced
   1 cup dried cranberries
   1 cup fresh parsley,chopped
   1 cup fresh mint,chopped
   1 lemon

  Preparation

   Boil 4 cups water; season with bay leaves and salt. Add
    quinoa and return to a boil. Reduce heat,cover and simmer
    about 20 minutes, until quinoa absorbs water. Remove from
    heat; remove bay leaves and let cool. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp
    oil in a frying pan. Saute zucchini and squash-season with salt
    and pepper-until slightly browned. Combine vegetables and quinoa.
    Drizzle on remaining 1 tbsp oil. Stir in onions, apricots, cranberries,
    parsley, and mint. Grate in lemon peel and squeeze on lemon juice
    to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
