Pork or Chicken & Pears with Quiona

I wish I had a picture of this excellent dish that only takes about 30 minutes to prepare.  Keys to making it a healthy meal is to remember to use ONLY Pasture raised Pork. This would work equally well with chicken!   I adapted this dish from a recipe I found in Good Housekeeping.

Serves 2

1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1.5 cups chopped fresh butternut squash (3/4-inch cubes) (can use frozen)
1 cup chopped Swiss Chard (can use spinach or Kale)
1/2 pound Pastured Pork tenderloin (I used two small chops), This would work equally well with chicken!
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
1 ripe pear, cored and cut into eighths
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 tablespoon pure apple cider vinegar
