Directions

  1. Bring 2/3 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, saute kale and garlic in the hot oil until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Stir quinoa into kale mixture and add sesame oil, cook until flavors blend, about 5 more minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water to mixture to keep from sticking.

Recipe Note

Great for a quick-but-healthy side dish. White cooking wine can be used instead of 1 tablespoon water at the end of cooking.
