Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creole Kale and Quinoa Bowl.
Step 1
Start by bringing a saucepan of chicken broth to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, stir in your rinsed quinoa, cover the pot, and lower the heat to let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
You’ll know it’s ready when the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the delicious broth.
Step 4
While the quinoa is cooking, grab a large pot and fill it with 2 quarts of water, bringing it to a boil.

Toss in the sliced kale and let it cook for just 2 to 3 minutes until it’s tender but still vibrant.
Step 6
Drain the kale and set it aside, letting it cool slightly.
Step 7
In that same pot, warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 8
Add in the minced shallot and sauté it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s softened and fragrant.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to bring the kale back into the mix.
Step 10
Add the cooked kale to the pot with the shallot, stirring everything together and cooking until the kale reaches your preferred level of tenderness.
Step 11
Next, gently fold in the cooked quinoa, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 12
Season your dish with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of Creole seasoning, stirring well to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
