This colorful and healthy quinoa kale bowl with asparagus and mushrooms is a great vegan and gluten-free meal choice. Plus, it tastes great and is full of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed. 2 cups vegetable broth. 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped. 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces. 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted.
Instructions: Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa is done and the broth is gone. Warm up the olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat. Put in the minced garlic and cook for one minute. It will take about 5 to 7 minutes of cooking after adding the sliced mushrooms until they start to brown and give off their juices. To the pan, add chopped kale and asparagus. It will take about 5 minutes of cooking until the kale is soft and the asparagus is crisp-tender. Put in some pepper, lemon juice, salt, and balsamic vinegar to taste. Mix things together well. To put the bowls together, add cooked quinoa to each serving bowl. Add the mushroom, kale, and asparagus mix on top. Before serving, top with chopped parsley and toasted almonds.
