I often resort to stir fried veggies when I have a whole bunch of veggies but short of inspiration and time. This is a nice change and I'll definitely do it again in the future. It was really quick and easy to make and I always love using cashews to make a creamy sauces. You may even like to add some herbs or spices to the sauce if you are feeling experimental. Enjoy this super nutritious, filling and delicious meal.

  • 1 Cup Quinoa (any colour)

  2. Meanwhile, put the cashews, almond milk, onion, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil (or coconut oil) in a saucepan on medium high heat.  Saute onions and garlic 5 minutes or until onions are slightly translucent.
  4. Add the carrots and red bell pepper. Saute for another 5 minutes.  Add water if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Once the carrots and pepper are slightly soft, add the beans and kale.
  6. Add a couple tablespoons of water. Cover saucepan and heat until the beans are warmed and the kale is wilted.
