Ingredients

  • 1 measuring cup of flavorful chicken broth
  • A half cup of quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
  • Two quarts of fresh water
  • A bunch of lacinato kale, sliced into ribbons
  • A spoonful of fragrant olive oil
  • A minced large shallot for added flavor
  • A pinch of salt for taste
  • Half a teaspoon of zesty Creole seasoning

Step 1

Start by bringing some flavorful chicken broth to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Once it's bubbling happily, sprinkle in the delightful quinoa and give it a good stir. Cover the pan, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and let the quinoa soak up all the goodness for about 10 minutes until it's tender and the liquid is all absorbed.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in another pot, bring some water to a lively boil. Drop in the fresh kale and let it dance in the water for about 2 to 3 minutes until it's just tender. Drain the kale and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add a drizzle of fragrant olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the shallot and let it cook and soften for around 5 minutes, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma. Stir in the kale, cooking it to your preferred level of doneness.

Step 4

Finally, combine the cooked quinoa with the flavorful vegetable mix. Season this delectable concoction with a pinch of salt and a dash of zesty Creole seasoning to elevate the flavors. Enjoy your wholesome and tasty dish!
