Quinoa Stuffed Butternut Pumpkin

I have quinoa and I am not afraid to use it! Whether it be black, white or red, I am there. There is an Australian grower of quinoa now and if you can source it, you should certainly try as it is larger, plumper, and of course, we love to support our Aussie farmers. Try this on for size, it certainly proves that real men DO eat quinoa… hearty, and full of flavour.
