Kale, Quinoa & Asparagus
I had some extra asparagus laying around a few weeks ago, so I decided to make a kale and quinoa dish and add some! I settled on a spicy version of this dish so to give it a little extra kick. It got great reviews from those who tried it. One thing that was said was that the spicyness really doesn’t kick you in the face. It is more the perfect amount of spicyness to make things interesting. If you’re looking for a great side dish for dinner tonight look no further![amd-yrecipe-recipe:221]
Alex is actually always asking me to make asparagus in the spring. I finally decided it was time for me to figure out how to make it for him. We both enjoy garlic so I decided this was the best flavor to add to the asparagus since it certainly wouldn’t ruin it. Even though I didn’t love this recipe, it wasn’t actually bad. I just didn’t really like the flavor of the asparagus. However, Alex absolutely loved this! So if you’re an asparagus fan, you will probably enjoy this.This is a very easy recipe and will add a great bit of spring flavor to your meal. One thing I struggled with was knowing when the asparagus was actually done cooking. Since I’d never cooked it (I’m not even sure if I’d had asparagus before this) I had no idea what I was actually looking for to know when it was done. Thankfully I had guests over who cook asparagus all the time and helped me figure it out. What I discovered is that the asparagus turns a brighter green as its cooking. You want to wait until it is pretty bright green and tender.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:198]
