1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

  • Add the yellow squash and zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and cook squash have cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the thyme and tomatoes, season with more salt, then add the lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and cook until mixture is sizzling. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to release their juices, about 2 minutes.
  • Return the eggplant and pepper mixture to the pan, stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Add the quinoa and water to a large skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
