QUINOA AND SQUASH GRATIN
I'm drawing in this recipe on the Provençal tradition of combining rice with vegetables in a savory gratin, but I'm substituting quinoa for the rice. You can serve this comforting gratin as a main dish or a side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a two-quart baking dish or gratin. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the summer squash, thyme and rosemary. Cook, stirring often, until the squash is tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl, and stir in the squash mixture, the cooked quinoa and the cheese. Mix well and season, then scrape into the baking dish. Place in the oven, and bake 35 minutes or until it's set and the top is lightly browned. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
