Quinoa and Kale Curry
This delicious and nutritious curry has been shared with us by Tenina from Cooking With Tenina. This amazing grain quinoa is not actually a grain! 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.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This has to be one of the most delicious curries I have ever had (and oh so healthy what with the quinoa and kale). If you aren't a fan of kale, try it in this dish as the flavours of the curry override it. Otherwise a straight substitution with spinach should work perfectly. Serve on rice if you want although simply delicious as it is." - Claire
