Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
1 red or yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 cups kale, washed and finely shredded
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 green onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup currants or raisins
1/2 cup almonds or mixed nuts, toasted
salt and pepper

Directions

1. Place quinoa in a small pot and rinse with water, draining well. Add broth and cover, cooking until all the liquid has been absorbed and quinoa is tender.
2. Place chopped kale in a large bowl and cover with freshly cooked quinoa. The heat will help the kale soften.
