Quinoa and Kale Curry
Make on Fresco
The dowdy younger sister of rice, this amazing grain is not actually a grain, but I digress. Throw all sorts of flavour at quinoa and you not only get protein, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, vitamin E and fiber, you get a (non) grain that will take on any amount of flavour in the midst of all that nutritional weight. Plain. Simple. Plain and simple. But not dowdy at all! This recipe appears in The Convenient Vegetarian. A cookbook that should really have on your shelf, whether you are a vegetarian or not. It is packed with delicious flavourful vegetarian and vegan meals, or alternatively, cook up half a cow and serve them as sides...you know what I mean.
YUM.
