Prep veggies to be stuffed by slicing off both ends of each onion to create a sturdy base for standing and an opening large enough for stuffing. Cut delicata squash in half length wise and scoop out seeds. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes to gently scoop out seeds and core, reserve the inside for later use.

Pre-roast delicata squash and onions by drizzling with grapeseed oil, and seasoning with salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and fresh thyme. Bake for 30 minutes on 350-F then set aside to cool.

While veggies are baking, prepare quinoa by rinsing raw quinoa and cooking 1 cup according to instructions. We suggest cooking quinoa in vegetable broth, or adding a little veggie seasoning to the water for added flavor.

Once squash and onions have been removed from the oven, preheat oven to 400-F

While the quinoa cooks, start the mushrooms. In a cast iron pan, sauté sofrito and herbs de Provence in a few tablespoons of grape seed oil on low-medium heat for a couple of minutes.
