Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Grains

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse quinoa, brown rice, and white rice under cold running water to remove any bitterness and excess starch.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the kale, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add the Grains

    Add the rinsed quinoa, brown rice, and white rice to the pot. Stir to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

  3. 5

    Pour in the Broth

    Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the grains are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.

  5. 7

    Add the Kale

    After the grains are cooked, stir in the chopped kale, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the kale is wilted.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Fluff the quinoa and rice blend with a fork, and serve warm as a nutritious side dish or a main course.
