- In a medium pot, add 1½ cups vegetable stock, bay leaf, and couscous. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, or until couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

Add kale, garlic, tamari, nutritional yeast, and remaining ¼ cup of vegetable stock. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until kale is wilted and tender.
