Quinoa with Garlicky Vegetables Recipe Veggie Liv

• 1 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1.5 cups vegetable stock
• 1 pinch red pepper
• 1 tbs oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 shallot
• 1/2 cup vegetable stock
• 1 bunch kale, chopped, stems removed
• 1/2 cup red cabbage, chopped
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1 green onion, sliced
• a handful of cashews, lightly crushed

1. To prepare the quinoa (the only grain thats a complete protein), begin by rinsing the quinoa in warm water using a fine sieve.
2. Then, in a medium pot, bring the vegetable stock, quinoa, and red pepper to a gentle boil.
3. Cover, and reduce to a simmer.
4. Simmer for about 15 minutes, remove from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
5. (Quinoa is a very forgiving grain, so if you find that you do not have enough liquid, you can add more without ruining it.)
6. For the vegetables: In a large skillet/saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
7. Add the minced garlic and shallot and cook for one minute.
8. Then, add the kale, coating it all in the oil.
9. Saute for about 2 minutes and then slowly pour in some of the stock.
10. Let the kale wilt in the steam.
11. When the kale is just about done, add the cabbage and the celery.
12. If needed, add more stock.
13. Cook for about 4-5 minutes.
14. (I like my vegetables crunchy, so if you like them soft, feel free to cook longer).
15. Top the quinoa with the mixture and garnish with the nuts and green onion.
16. Enjoy!
