Cook the red quinoa according to the package directions. Set aside.
Saute the onions and the cilantro, until the onions are translucent.
Blanche the brussel sprouts and the green beans. Set aside.
To the sauteed onions add the chickpeas, the brussel sprouts, the green beans, the cooked quinoa and the sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Scoop off a bit of the butternut squash flesh to make the cavity bigger.
