Ingredients:

For the Quinoa:

For the Stir-Fry:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• 1 cup kale, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• Juice of 1 key lime
• Sea salt and red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the quinoa, water or vegetable broth, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

3. Add the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, cooked chickpeas, and kale to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they become tender but still slightly crisp.
4. Sprinkle the ground turmeric and ground ginger over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
5. Squeeze the juice of one key lime over the stir-fry and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with sea salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
