The Villages Florida

1 1/2 C red quinoa
1 13.5 oz can lite coconut milk
1 C water
1/2 C shredded unsweetened coconut
2 limes, juice and zest
4 tsp chili powder
2 C fresh or frozen pineapple, chopped
2 C fresh or frozen mango, chopped

Directions:

In a medium pot over medium heat, bring the coconut milk and water to a boil.
Add quinoa and lower heat to low. Cover and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut, lime juice and zest and chili powder (reserve a tsp or so of the coconut and zest for garnish).
Gently stir in the pineapple and mango.
Garnish with reserved shredded coconut and lime zest.

Another quick one is on a barbecue

Kale
peppers
3/4" think slices of tomato
asparagus

Season as you like or spray Bragg's amino.
Actually, I enjoy quinoa and if I liked coconut more, I might make this dish.

Grew up eating kale....it's a strong flavored green, but I love it. When you BBQ it, how do you do that....??? Amino what?
