Ingredients

2 T. unsalted butter
½ c. chopped onion
½ c. chopped red bell pepper
1 large clove garlic minced
⅓ c. golden raisins
2 T. water
½ c. quinoa cooked according to package instructions, drained
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. curry powder If you don't like alot of heat, use a sweet curry powder, or just use less regular curry powder
½ tsp. cumin powder
pinch of cayenne powder
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 medium zucchinis
extra virgin olive oil
2 T. sliced and randomly chopped almonds
¼ c. chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium to medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper, and sauté until softened. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute more. Add raisins, water, cooked quinoa, honey, curry, cumin, and cayenne. Stir everything together and cook for a minute or so to let the spices heat up and become fragrant. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 425° F.
Trim the ends off the zucchinis and cut in half lengthwise. Trim a very thin strip from the bottom of each half so they will lay flat. Using the tip of a spoon, scoop out seeds and some of the flesh to create a boat. Brush inside and outside of zucchini boats lightly with oil and then season lightly with salt and pepper. Place zucchini boats on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10 minutes, or until zucchini is slightly softened.
Remove from oven and scoop the curry quinoa evenly into zucchini boats. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until curry quinoa is hot and zucchini is tender and softened to your liking. Sprinkle with almonds and cilantro, a bit more salt and black pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
