Quinoa and pumpkin timbale is a dish with no excess and no complications, but above all it is a great choice if you want to make a one-dish meal.
It offers a very good combination of protein, vitamins and minerals, since the quinoa and pumpkin mix provides complete protein (quinoa contains all the essential amino acids), complex carbohydrates, omega-3, fiber, B vitamins (B1, B2 and B3), vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, zinc and plenty of magnesium. In addition, the peppers and onion add vitamin B6, lycopene, flavonoids, potassium, phosphorus, sodium and sulfur.

Notes
The white pulp of the inner cavity of the peppers is rich in flavonoids, so not removing it is also a good option.
Although this is a very visual way of presenting the dish, you can also do it in the traditional way, you just have to mix the whole pumpkin well with the rest of the ingredients.

- Step 1We wash the vegetables, remove the seeds and the white pulp from the interior cavity of the peppers and cut everything into small pieces. To the pumpkin we remove the seeds, peel them and cut them into cubes.
- Step 2We put 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan and sauté the onion along with the peppers. We stir-fry everything for 5 minutes over high heat, add the salt, and lower the heat slightly.
- Step 3We put a part of the squash in the sauce to mix with the rest of the vegetables, we remove it for 5 minutes and cover it for a quarter of an hour so that it is done well, making sure it does not stick (we will stir).
- Step 4Wash the quinoa well until the water comes out clean, add it in the sauce and add the vegetable broth and water. We cook it for 12 minutes (time you need the quinoa to cook well) controlling that it does not stick.
- Step 5We put in a pan with a tablespoon of oil the pumpkin we had reserved and sauté for 5 minutes. We lower the heat and let it be done for another 10 minutes. After this time we move away from the fire and reserve.
- Step 6To assemble the plate, take a ring to place, place it on the plate and throw the quinoa with vegetables that we have in the pan; we flatten it a little with care so it does not spill.
- Step 7Finally, put on the quinoa pumpkin we have sautéed separately and delicately remove the ring.
