I liked this just fine. But wasn't wow'd by it, DH wasn't keen at all. I think its a good base but I found it just lacking a bit in flavor.

This was my first recipe using quinoa. It's definitely different, but we enjoyed it. We used feta cheese and canned diced tomatoes because that's what we had on hand. Don't leave out the cheese--it gives it much-needed flavor. Will be making again!

Ok. I'm trying to not be so liberal with my 5 star ratings, but this is the best quinoa that i've ever had, and I've made LOTS and LOTS of quinoa. This is just filled with delicious flavour. Yum! I left out the cheese and I added some finely chopped mushrooms to the mix as well. Thanks!

I have never managed to like quinoa, despite many attempts. This recipe has made a convert out of me. Make sure to rinse the quinoa as directed...thi sis crucial. Thanks very much for posting!
