Kind of a rustic seasonal pot pie perfect for a drizzly cool fall day. This is very hearty and easy to make. Tons of flavor and could be completely vegetarian if vegetable broth is substituted for the chicken broth.

  2. 2small russet potatoes
  3. 2 cupschopped butternut squash
  4. 1/2 cupQuinoa washed and rinsed
  5. 1/4 cupFrozen peas

  7. Sazon seasoning
  8. Ground sage
  9. Granulated garlic
  10. Sweet paprika
  11. 2 tbspcornstarch
  12. 1small sweet onion

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°

  2. 2

    Chop the potatoes and butternut squash into about half inch chunks and the delicata into about 3/4 inch chunks.

  3. 3

    Place the chopped potatoes and squashes onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Dust with the sazon, sage, garlic and paprika. Drizzle canola oil over the top about 2 tbsp and mix by hand ensuring the oil and seasonings completely coat. Bake for for 35 minutes.

  4. 4

    While baking prepare the drop biscuits per your favorite recipes directions. We used a gluten free recipe.

  5. 5

    When there is about 10 minutes left on the oven timer start the quinoa. Put the quinoa, onion and 2/3 can chicken broth in a saucepan with a dash of sazon, granulated garlic and paprika. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir together the cornstarch and remaining chicken broth to make a slurry. Add to the quinoa and continue simmering for another 2 minutes then remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Check the flavor and consistency of the quinoa mixture. Add a thin layer to the bottom of a greased baking dish. Size and shape of baking dish are up to you and how tightly packed you want the biscuits to be.

  8. 8

    Spread the roasted squash and potatoes evenly, add the frozen peas then cover with the rest of the quinoa mixture.

  9. 9

    Use an icecream scoop to evenly distribute the biscuits across the top and bake per the drop biscuit recipe.

  10. 10

    Let cool and serve!

I have always been in love with flavor combinations even before I was allowed to use the stove by myself. I would come home from school and test out what was on hand with what I could maybe cook in the microwave. Little did I know I was starting down a life long journey of exploring flavors and recipes that I love and share with the people I care the most about.https://www.instagram.com/theeclecticcook/https://pin.it/vuncaiso65qrkl
