Serves 2 with some of the sauce left over for another day.

1 teaspoon honey

pinch of cayenne pepper

1 small summer squash, sliced into thin rounds

1 small courgette, sliced into thin rounds

1/2 cup quinoa, cooked according to the pack instructions

Pan Fried Chickpeas

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

I adjusted the quantities to serve 2, but I didn't change anything in the method. Head over to http://dishingupthedirt.com/zucchini/farm-stand-summer-vegetable-bowls/ for the how to.

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
