Steamed Kale under Indian-Spiced Quinoa with Raisins and Pine Nuts
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
3/4 C quinoa (rinse first)
Ground spices:
1/2 tsp cardamon
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 cinnamon
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp cayenne
Add, mix, lower heat, cover and simmer for about 10-18 minutes until quinoa is done, and mix is still moist
2 C broth (vegetable or chicken)
1 oz white wine
Add, mix and serve
1/3 C raisins
1/4 C toasted pine nuts
[To toast pine nuts, put them in skillet on low heat. Stir every so often until done.]
