Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • ⅔ cup water

  • ⅓ cup quinoa

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 cup chopped kale

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed


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. Sauté kale and garlic in 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 prevent sticking.
