Method
 

  1. Combine the quinoa and vegetable stock with a pinch of salt in the 2 Quart Saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until steam begins to escape from under the lid.

  3. Preheat the 12" Sauté Skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes while the quinoa cooks. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Melt the butter and swirl to combine with the oil.
  4. Add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the red and orange pepper along with the yellow squash, zucchini squash, corn, oregano and thyme. Stir the vegetables and cook uncovered, for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Uncover the quinoa, fluff it with a fork, then add it to the vegetables in the fry pan. Stir to combine.
  7. Garnish with parsley and serve.
