Quinoa with Wild Mushrooms and Mixed Squashes

Serves: 4 to 6
Quinoa with Wild Mushrooms and Mixed Squashes

Earthy and hearty, this kind of grain-and-mushroom dish appeals to me most in the fall, though it can be served any time of year.

  * 1 cup raw quinoa, rinsed in a fine sieve
  * 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  * 1 tablespoon olive oil
  * 1 medium onion, chopped
  * 2 cloves garlic, minced
  * 1/4 cup dry white wine, optional
  * 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
  * 1 medium yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced
  * 6 to 8 ounces crimini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  * 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  * 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  * 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  * Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Combine the quinoa and bouillon cube with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the quinoa and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Heat the oil in the skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until translucent.

Add the wine, squashes, mushrooms and chilies, and sauté over medium-high heat until the squashes are touched with golden spots.

Stir in the cooked quinoa, followed by the parsley, oregano, and cumin. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes longer. Serve at once.

These curry-spiced “burgers” are topped with grilled pineapple for a tropical twist on the classic veggie burger.

For the Veggie Burgers:
1 cup green lentils, rinsed
1/4 cup brown rice
2 cups vegetable broth
Water sufficient to cover the lentils and rice
Salt, to taste
1 1/2 Tbsp. margarine
1 onion, chopped
4 tsp. curry powder
1/3 cup shredded carrot
2 Tbsp. Sauvignon Blanc
2 Tbsp. hot sauce
1/2-3/4 cup panko
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1 tsp. cumin

• Put the lentils and rice in a saucepan with the vegetable broth, adding enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Season with the salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils and rice are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and place the lentils and rice in a large bowl. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, melt the margarine in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Cool slightly and then add to the lentils and rice.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and season with the salt. Form into patties and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Grill for 5 to 10 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the patties are hot.

To Assemble:
1 can pineapple rings, drained
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. margarine
Kaiser rolls
Lettuce
Vegan mayonnaise

• Slice the pineapple rings in half to make a thinner ring. Grill until caramelized, about 5 minutes on each side.
• Grill the onion until lightly browned.
• Spread the margarine over the rolls and grill until lightly browned.
• Place the veggie burgers on the buns and top with the pineapple, onions, lettuce, and vegan mayonnaise.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

What others are saying:


       “I was suffering from high-blood pressure at the young age of 27, needing to take pills to control my blood pressure everyday.  Besides that, I also had migraine headaches, pain all over my body with chronicle knee cap pain, due to my 250 lb body weight. After following Susan’s program for three months, all the pain was gone, especially my knee, blood pressure normalized without any medication and I’ve lost a total of 70 lbs.”


       “Susan has taught me not just how to change my pant size, but my life.. I am thinking in ways I never even considered, for my own health, my family’s health, my children’s and any future grand children’s health and the planet. I have learned what I will and will not put up with from manufacturers and the food industry….I have awakened my inner person.”


        ” In one way or another, we all can improve our nutritional and physical habits. Susan tells a great deal of her life story and it illustrates her message. She has extensive knowledge regarding food, activity and its role in wellness. Her approach is sound. She doesn’t recommend diets, fads or any other commercial remedies. Anyone can improve his or her life.”


       “I had tried everything but with no lasting results. Susan makes a lot of sense. It does work. I am down 130 pounds and have maintained it for 2 years now and I feel great.”


     ” Encouraging progress with Susan Powter - 255 filled with HOPE for the future. 75 pounds gone!!”


      “Susan’s cooking classes and consultations showed me how to prepare healthy meals. This was tremendously helpful for me to see how easy it is to prepare healthy delicious meals in my home. Susan is a genius in the kitchen and so much fun.”

  

    “A big thank you to Susan; her weight loss program was exactly what I needed. I am 55 years old and have always been very active. Recently, I gained 12 lbs and began to feel lethargic all the time. Susan made me aware that I had been eating more than necessary, and not quite tapping into my true sense of hunger. I lost 15.5 lbs and I am in much better shape. And that’s in addition to my doctor’s opinion! The exercises and Lifestyle Ex-Change DVDs are great.”


   “Thank you Susan! I now eat healthily and prepare tasty, nutritious meals thanks to your recipes. This program is professional, personable, the attitude is supportive, and I have received the motivation and information to change my life.”

How to Grill Corn on the Cob

For grilling corn on the cob, make sure you choose fresh ears of corn with healthy green husks and no rotten kernels.

The stem at the bottom of the husk needs to be there; else the husk leaves will not stay on. If the stem has been removed, the husks will fall off when you pull them back. The husks keep the moisture in and prevent the corn kernels from burning



Susan Powter

This recipe is a summer favorite and the resulting corn on the cob is buttery, moist and slightly smoky in flavor because of the paprika. You need to be careful when pulling the husks back and when pulling them back up, so as not to tear them. There are no quantities in the following recipe ingredients but you should have one ear of corn per person and as much butter as you need to coat them all in a fine layer. As well as the ingredients, you will need some tinfoil and kitchen twine. If the husk breaks, you can use tinfoil to wrap the corn on the cob.

Ingredients:

· 1 block extra firm tofu, well pressed
· 1/4 cup organic ketchup
· 3 tbsp soy sauce
· 2 tbsp vegetable oil
· 1 tbsp water
· 1/2 tsp garlic powder


Preparation:


Carefully slice tofu into 1-inch thick cubes or strips. If you’re using skewers, cubes are best, but if you’ll be placing your tofu directly on your grill, larger strips are better.
Whisk together all the ingredients, except tofu, and place in a shallow dish. Place the tofu in the dish and spoon some of the marinate on top of the tofu. Allow the tofu to marinade for at least one hour, turning once or spooning more marinade over the top. You can also use a zip-lock bag instead of a dish.
Lightly grease your gill and cook tofu over medium flame for 4 - 5 minutes on each side, basting with extra marinade.
