Curry Quinoa with Kale and Roasted Cauliflower
I love to try new recipes that feature old and new favorite ingredients. Right now I do a lot of cooking with coconut oil, but after making this Curry Quinoa with Kale and Roasted Cauliflower I may have a few new regulars in my kitchen. 
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed I received a delivery I was rather excited about a few weeks ago. The delivery was from Grace Foods and contained a few coconut products that I was looking forward to trying out. I’m all for healthy foods that taste great and right now I’m all about the coconut. As I said before, I do a lot of cooking with coconut oil (I have even replaced my coffee creamer with coconut oil). Did you know that coconut oil has been endorsed by leading medical and health experts as a food that can help protect us from heart disease? There are a number of nutritional benefits of using coconut products in our cooking (fibre, protein and good fat) and not only does coconut help us feel better but it also helps us look better (there are a number of beneficial uses for hair, skin and nails). Add in the fact that it can help fight off infections, and we have a superfood that tastes good and is easy to incorporate into our everyday life. 
I used a number of organic coconut products from Grace Foods in this Curry Quinoa recipe. Including:
- Grace Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
- Grace Organic Coconut Milk
- Grace Organic Coconut Vinegar
- Grace All Natural Coconut Chips
It was easy to incorporate the coconut products by doing a few simple swaps:
- Organic Virgin Coconut Oil for Olive Oil
- Coconut Milk for 1 cup of water
I also added some new-to-me ingredients to the Curry Quinoa dish: All Natural Coconut Chips and Organic Coconut Vinegar. A word of caution: the Coconut Chips are highly addictive and are heaven in a bag. Do not sample them before garnishing as you will eat half the bag yourself and feel shame. 
In the end you will have this amazing recipe from Curry Quinoa with Kale and Roasted Cauliflower. It’s a great vegetarian meal to have on hand for “meatless Monday”. It’s filling and chocked full of superfoods (coconut, kale, quinoa, curry).

We love curry and we love quiona, this sounds awesome, I will have to give it a try.
although I am not a fan of coconut this is something I would definitely try. I am trying to incorporate healthier foods for my family even if that means using coconut oils and flours etc!!
This looks very interesting! We love Quinoa, Kale and Curry! This would go over well with the family! Thank you for sharing.. you always make my mouth water..
This looks like something I would definitely eat! We have coconut oil at home that we use as skin products (cream, part of our face wash, etc…) – but I have yet to use it for cooking. I definitely need to start!
I haven’t used coconut products for cooking yet…but with recipes that look as tasty as this, I’m going to have to give it a try!
This looks so healthy and beautiful.
sounds interesting, I like everything but the quinoa, but then last time I had it i don’t know if I made it right
I usually do 1/2 c quinoa to 1 c water. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to a simmer and put a lid on it. I let that go for 15 mins, check on it and if there isn’t really any liquid left I give it a good stir and let it sit to fluff up for 5 minutes or so.
If it’s the flavor you don’t like, cooking it with chicken broth and spices can help too!
Thank you!! I’m going to have to give it a try again!
I would definitely give this a try,it looks delicious
This sounds SO good — I am loving all the yummy cauliflower recipes I’m seeing lately. A perfect side dish!
This looks so good. I would love to try and make this for my family. 🙂

I rarely cook with curry, but this sounds so good! I’m always up for trying new healthy recipes 🙂
I am going to have to give this a try! I recently introduced curry and my kids enjoyed it – now to up the ante!
I don’t really like curry but this looks so yummy, I just may have to give curry another try
I love roasted cauliflower as well as kale. This sounds delicious!
Looks like a healthy meal. The ingredient list looks a little long and intimidating though!
I have just stared to like coconut so I will be trying this
I cant seems to find the Coconut Chips anywhere
I have been finding them in my grocery store where they usually have dehydrated fruit. Another store has some with dairy (which is odd haha).
I asked the Manager and he is going to see if he can bring this product in
Yum! This looks so good and I love that it has so many healthy ingredients! i have to try this recipe soon
I have been really craving it again. I may make it next week sometime.
Added some extra items to the grocery list….hoping to cook this up this week!
That’s great to hear Laurie! Enjoy 🙂
I absolutely love the recipe for Curry Quinoa and Kale Cauliflower Bowl. Thanks for postimg it.

Yum. Yum. Yum. I have not cooked with coconut oil but i use it as a moisturiser.
This recipe seems so delicious..except I have never heard of Grace Organic Coconut Oil or quinoa and I am not familiar with their tastes…but maybe I should experiment..thank you
kale, coconut and cauliflowers are a few of my favorites right now. Must try!
Love new healthy recipes for quinoa. thanks
This looks so good, hubby doesn’t like curry but he is going to be away on business so might have to give this a go!
Wow, that sounds yummy. Unfortunately I know my kids would be hesitant to try it and for the effort I am better waiting until they are older. I do love coconut and they are slowly warming up to the taste.
I was like that with my husband, I had to ease him into these foods. Now he requests them haha.
I would love this recipe except I can’t abide coconut anymore, we ate too much of it in fiji
Looks like a very interesting recipe but it has a very long list of ingredients. The end result looks like it might be worth it!
This looks like an amazing recipe. I am fairly new to coconut products, just started using organic coconut oil for cooking. Love curry! And now I am off to source out those Coconut chips………
I have nevewr cooked with coconut milk b4 but this recipe looks delicious thanks!
This sounds really good. I like all the ingredients and I’m so sure my husband would love it as well. I will try making this the next visit to the grocery to get the items we need. Would also be a nice dish when having guests over also.

This looks so good, we use coconut oil for almost all of our cooking.
I like everything in this recipe but curry, this sounds good enough I might give it a try
looks creamy without the dairy
This looks like something I would definitely eat but I don’t know what quinoa is
Hey Ronald,
Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) is a grain that has more fibre and protein then say – rice. It’s an ancient grain and classified as a “superfood” there are a number of benefits and it’s great for those who can’t digest wheat products, rice, corn or gluten.
Definitely a curry night over here!!
So healthy! I’m definitely making this.
sounds very good and a really healthy meal thanks for sharing , i wanna try it out 🙂
I love both quinoa and kale and this sounds like a delicious way to change it up!
