Curried Quinoa Pilaf

Directions

1. Place a large, heavy bottomed saucepan or soup pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add oil. Add onion, peppers, garlic, ginger root, and curry powder and cook until onion is soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
2. Add kale and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus, tomatoes, quinoa, salt, pepper, and water and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
3. To serve, spoon into individual bowls and garnish with cilantro, if using.
