Couscous Kale

A quick meal at the end of the day. Used Nile Spice  Couscous Lentil Curry dried soup - just add water. Let it soak up the hot water. Steam a cup of kale, and mix it all together in a bowl. Add some slivered, toasted almonds on top. Very filling!

Chicken Quinoa Pilaf with Steamed Kale



The end result

The 2+ cups of vegies

Used pressure cooker again - worked great!! The Chicken Quinoa Pilaf is variation of a recipe from Pressure Cooker Diaries. I used quinoa instead of rice; and the vegies that I had available were - onion, garlic, 8 brussel sprouts,1/2 cup red cabbage, a rutabaga, 2 golden beets, 1 orange pepper. This was cooked with vegie stock, some wine and spiced with curry, cinnamon, cardamon. The chicken breast tenders, I cut into bite size pieces. This recipe made 6 servings.

I put my serving on a bed of steamed kale, and topped it with 1 Tbsp of mozzarella. The nutrition count is for this serving.

Beef Stew 'n' Kale

First time ever, made a beef stew with a pressure cooker (one of the modern ones). Using leftovers the next day, I took one serving and added a cup of kale to it - microwaved it all for a couple minutes.

Worked perfectly, and was deee-licious!

The stew had beef, carrot, celery, parsnip, turnip, spices, onion, balsamic vinegar, wine and tomoatoes, plus stock.
