Summer is over, it is fall, back to school, we are tired, but, dinner still needs to happen. I was looking for something quick and healthy, and whipped up this Smoked Chickpea Kale Stirfry with four ingredients, in fifteen minutes. Yes, you read that right, fifteen minutes. Somehow, when it only took fifteen minutes, I expected it to be an average dinner. Not even. The smoked paprika and garlic combo gives this stirfry an awesome flavor and the Seeds of Change Quinoa, Brown and Red Rice also adds some spice sensation to make it a nutrition powerhouse that is filling and delicious. Vegan, gluten free and dairy free.

I just had this for dinner. Didn't have smoked paprika so substituted cayenne but also added some cumin and topped with fresh sprouts after cooking. Good thing I had bought kale yesterday. I also added fresh mined garlic 3 cloves and a flavorful but not hot pepper called pimento. Being in the Caribbean we get and use this a lot.
This was delicious and as I am a cancer patient I will be using more of your recipes so I can eat 80/20 alkaline.
