I had some spinach and kale to harvest in my garden this week so I set out to make a delicious dish. My family loved this dish!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa (rinsed)
- 2 tbsp grass fed butter
- 1 large clove of garlic (minced)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup fresh kale
- 2–3 tsp lemon juice (start with 2 tsp, and if you would like more add another tsp)
- 2 tbsp raw sunflower seeds or raw pecans (chopped in small pieces)
- 1/3 cup raw shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Rinse your dried quinoa several times (this will allow it not to be bitter).
- Boil your quinoa in salted water and cook for 20 minutes.
- Drain and rinse in cold water, set aside.
- In a large skillet melt butter and add garlic.
- Toss your garlic for about a minute and then add your kale and spinach.
