Sweet Potato & Quinoa Casserole Recipe

 

• Ingredients:

4 cups of diced sweet potato

3 tbsp of water

1 tbsp of olive oil

1/2 cup of thinly, sliced onion

2 tbsp of garlic

2 cups of chicken broth

1/3 cup of wine white

1 1/2 cup of quinoa

1 tsp of cumin

1 tsp of sea salt

1/2 tsp of cinnamon

1/4 paprika

1/2 cup of queso fresco

1/4 cup of fresh cilantro

• Directions
• Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 400 degree F. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Step 2: Add sweet potato cubes, onions and garlic to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add broth, quinoa, wine, salt, cumin, cinnamon and paprika. Bring to a boil. 
• Step 3: Spoon the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch broiler-safe baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake until the sweet potatoes and quinoa are tender and the liquid is fully absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes.

3. Select the required “dough cycle” and push start. Check the dough after 5 minutes.
4. Add the apple pieces 5 to 10 minutes before the ending of the last kneading cycle.
5. After the dough cycle is done, transfer it to your greased pan and back until a gold crust appears on top. With the mini bread pan I used, it took about 30 - 45 minutes.
