I have come to really like quinoa. It’s very healthy and is very simple to make. Quinoa takes on the flavors of what you add to it especially what you cook it in. I really like to cook mine in vegetable, chicken or beef stock as it absorbs those flavors and makes a great dish. Combining the cranberries, red rice and kale gives this dish a variety of textures and a super flavor. Especially with the vegetable broth. My favorite is turkey stock to cook my quinoa with but it all depends what I am making as to what my choice of stock will be. This recipe of Quinoa, Red Rice and Kale can be a side dish or the main dish. It can be served hot or cold.
