Ingredients

  • 6 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups quinoa, well rinsed
  • 2 ¾ cups vegetable broth, divided
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas
  • 1 bunch kale, coarsely chopped
  • ¼ pound feta, crumbled
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large saucepan with lid.
  • Add onion to oil and cook until it starts to brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in quinoa. Add 2 ½ cups vegetable broth to quinoa and bring to a boil.
  • Cover pan and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until quinoa is tender and broth is absorbed, about 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cover a baking pan with tin foil and coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to pan in a single layer. Drizzle the tomatoes with 2 tsp. olive oil and stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place tomatoes in oven and roast until most of the tomatoes are popped, about 10 - 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • While tomatoes are roasting, combine 2 teaspoons olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large pan.
  • Place pan on stove and heat to medium. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Stir in chickpeas, kale, and ¼ cup broth. Cover pan, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
  • After a few minutes, stir kale and cover pan again.
  • Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted and tender (about 10 minutes). Season to taste with salt.
  • When quinoa is done, stir in kale mixture. Taste and season with additional salt, if desired.
  • Serve quinoa topped with roasted tomatoes and sprinkled with feta. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The kale cooks down a lot, so feel free to add another bunch if you're a kale lover.
  • Instead of topping the quinoa with the tomatoes and kale, feel free to mix all the ingredients together. It will taste just as good, but won't be quite as pretty!
