Curry quinoa pilaf with roasted butternut squash and raisin mix

As a grand-daughter of Armenians I am well acquainted to pilaf and I love bulghur. When I first tasted Quinoa, I immediately fell in love with it and detected some similarities. Yet, when I actually started cooking my recipes with Quinoa substituing it for the wheat grain I discovered a whole new world. It is tenderer and delicately nutty flavoured and has an unbeatable characteristic...it is gluten free! This recipe was inspired by my ancestral knowledge of cooking pilaf. It is a perfect combination of taste and texture: the sweetness and softness of the butternut squash against the nutty crunch of the quinoa cooked in the onions and garlic fry and hightened by the distinct intensity of the curry. All of this topped by a variation of the traditional "persian mix" that is both crunchy and sweet
