Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1/2 cup chickpeas, cooked
- 1/2 cup sweet potato, diced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitter coating.
- In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
- While quinoa cooks, peel and dice sweet potato into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potato and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden and potato is tender.
- Sprinkle curry powder over sweet potatoes, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
- Add cooked chickpeas and chopped kale to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until kale is slightly wilted and bright green.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy dressing.
- Fluff quinoa with a fork and divide between two serving bowls.
- Top quinoa with the curried sweet potato, chickpea, and kale mixture.
- Drizzle tahini dressing over the bowls and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Rinse Your Quinoa: Always rinse quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove its natural coating, called saponin, which can impart a bitter taste.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the kale or sweet potato for other vegetables you have on hand, such as spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini, to suit your taste preferences.
- Perfectly Cooked Sweet Potatoes: Cut your sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure they cook evenly. The golden edges add a delightful texture to the dish!
- Enhance the Flavor: For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of coconut milk to the sweet potato mixture while sautéing.
- Creamy Tahini Dressing: Adjust the consistency of the tahini dressing by adding a little water if it’s too thick. This will help it drizzle beautifully over your bowl.
- Serve Warm: This dish is best enjoyed warm, so serve it immediately after assembling to savor the flavors and textures at their peak!
