Quinoa Congee - Natural Medicine Week

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa (soak overnight then rinse and drain to reduce levels of gut-irritating saponins)
• 6 cups of bone broth (or veggie broth, for my vegan pals)
• 1 thumb-sized knob of ginger, unpeeled and diced finely
• 2-3 cloves of garlic (depending on your tastebuds), peeled and crushed
• 200g sliced shitake mushrooms
• 2 cups sliced kale
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Sprinkle of diced chives, crispy shallots and/or sesame seeds to garnish
