Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Cut the top portion of the head of garlic, leaving the upper portion of the cloves exposed. Place two pieces of tinfoil on top of eachother, and place the garlic in the center. In a small bowl, melt 1 tsp of I cant Believe Its Not Butter and then pour onto the garlic, rubbing it into the tops of the cloves. Package the tinfoil around it and place it on a small baking tray. Bake until the cloves are very soft about 50-60 mins.
• Place the walnuts onto a small pan and place them into the oven, just until lightly toasted (about 4-7 mins) Remove and set aside.
• In a large pan melt 2 Tbsp of I Cant Believe Its Not Butter on medium heat. Add in the mushrooms and onions and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Once cooked, add in the quinoa and chicken broth and stir well. Bring the mixture a boil and then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 25-30 minutes.
• Once cooked, add in the chopped kale, stir and cover for about 5 minutes until the kale begins to wilt.
• While the kale cooks, press all of the garlic cloves out of the roasted head and place them into a medium bowl, along with the remaining 2 Tbsp of I Cant Believe Its Not Butter. Use a spoon to smash the I Cant Believe Its Not Butter and garlic until the garlic is evenly incorporated throughout the butter. Add in the fresh thyme and parsley and mix well.
• Melt the I Cant Believe Its Not Butter mixture in the microwave and pour over top the quinoa. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper
• Garnish with toasted walnuts and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
