Enhance nutrients absorption through food
I do recommend my clients to eat more green leafy vegetables to increase their intake of necessary vitamins and minerals. So, here you go! A delicious and full of goodies steamed kale with quinoa
Ingredients:
½ cup cooked quinoa
Himalayan salt, to taste
1 large bunch of kale
1 tbsp olive oil
2-3 large clove garlic, slivered
1/2 onion, chopped
zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp chopped dill
1 tbsp of chopped parsley
1 carrot
1/2 bell pepper
1 avocado
freshly ground black pepper and red pepper flakes, to taste
Method:
In a large pot, combine the quinoa (soaked overnight) with 2 cups water and ¾ tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat to low, simmering until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, tear the kale leaves from their stems and coarsely chop them. Wash if necessary.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat and then add the garlic and onion, carrots, bell pepper, cooking about 2 minutes. Add in the kale and a few pinches of salt. Cover with lid and cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes. Transfer the kale to a large bowl and then stir in the lemon zest, dill and parsley. When the quinoa is done, stir in the quinoa.
Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add some lemon and an avocado. Serve warm or at room temperature.
