Yellow squash, cauliflower, and onion grilled in extra virgin olive oil until a little brown and slightly caramelized. The sesame seeds were thrown in at the end and all was tossed so that the seeds could get a little toasted.

The veggies were used to top some hot, freshly cooked quinoa. Quinoa is super easy to make, quick, and very versatile. It's like a grain, but not a "true grain". I will try to find a clearer picture to insert here, to show the detail of the quinoa.

The finished meal. I was just coming off of a several-day fast, so i couldn't eat any of this. :( (Oh well.. Next time!) However, my sweetheart has been talking about it ever since. :) And he thought he wasn't hungry when i made it!

I don't remember if i added any salt to this, although the quinoa was cooked with salt in the water. Normally i would have added salt and/or pepper on top when serving. I had eaten a fresh veggie salad topped with a mixture of mashed garlic, olive oil and salt. (My salad was delicious, by the way!) I suggested the garlic-oil mixture as a dressing to go over the cooked meal, but my boyfriend forgot about using it (i had left the apartment to go somewhere and hooked him up with a meal before leaving). He didn't add salt, pepper or anything, and was sufficiently pleased. He said he even scraped and ate the remaining sesame seeds from the pan afterwards!
