Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 1/2 pound new potatoes (halved)
  • 1/4 pound sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 bunch scallions (trimmed and sliced)
  • 10 ounces kale (deveined, chopped)

  4. Add the quinoa, remaining vegetable broth, scallions, beans and kale and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  5. Add the lemon juice and half the cilantro. Stir to combine. Serve hot with optional garnish of sunflower seeds and the remaining cilantro.
