KL's ORGANIC RED QUINOA AND SLOW-COOKED GREENS

Here's a recipe pic that I posted on my Instagram but didn't post on the blog... probably because I "move too fast!"

It's slow cooked kale and mustard greens with yellow onions seasoned with coconut oil, cayenne pepper, onion powder and sea salt along with organic red quinoa next to a sliced tomato.

The red quinoa cooks up so fluffy in under 20 minutes and it tastes so good plain or when I add a dash of sea salt and pepper (I usually mix the quinoa into the greens as I eat).

The big fresh-cut vine ripe tomato was dashed with fresh herbs to compliment the tender slow-cooked greens!

SoOoO Delicious!
