Mom gave me a recipe from the Oregonian for Indian-Spiced Quinoa with Golden Raisins and Pine Nuts which I varied a bit for this meal. It is deeee-licious! The nutrition count is for 1 serving of the quinoa mixture, on 1+ C kale. This mixture will serve 3-4.
Saute until onion is limp
2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp raw ginger, shredded
Add and mix up with onion and oil
