used frozen pepper strips and canned tomatoes so there might have been more liquid than normal. still really good. doubled the garlic and added black pepper for more of a "Mediterranean" flavor.

Very tasty. My husband and I both agree we will be making it again. We added more garlic and cut the liquid by 3/4 cup. Great dish...And over the top healthy!

this was great when you reduce the liquid. I added saffron in this dish and it was delicious! If you have saffron lying around --add it!

As with other reviewers, I would have given this a higher rating, if the liquid amounts had been adjusted. Even after setting for a while, it was still too soupy and tasted watered-down. That being said, however, a healthy dose of paprika and red pepper flakes made this great!

Excellent and very easy to make. I usually keep cooked quinoa in the fridge so this was really a breeze to make. Thanks for posting.

I used 2 cups vegetable broth (instead of 4) which was perfect. It refrigerated well and tasted good cold too. Next time I make this I'll play around with the broth mixture and spices as it was missing something...

WAy to much liquid. I decreased the recipe to 3 cups and it still had to much. I had to drain it so may have lost some of the flavor, but it was pretty tasty still. I would have given it a 5 star except for the soupy quality.

I love quinoa! It's so easy to put your own twist on it. When I make the "mediterranean" style, I add about a cup of crumbled feta or goat cheese to give it some texture. It's a great base for roasted veggies, or a dish like ratatouille, can be a side dish or with some chicken or tofu added in turns into a meal.

I tweaked the recipe by adding a can of Tomatoes with chilies instead of the tomato paste. I used the tomato liquid adding it to 2 cups of chicken broth. Used yellow and red peppers as I didn't have green peppers. It makes a colorful dish. Served this in lieu of rice with African Curry (from allrecipes.com) and it mixed quite well with the Coconut Milk base and the chicken of the curry. Both dishes had tomatoes and onions. Combined the two dishes together for lunch the next day.

This was a little bland. I had to add quite a bit of salt when I ate it, and I don't generally salt my food at all.

So yummy! I will make this regularly. I followed the alterations other reviews made and put 2cups vege broth to 1cup quinoa and used olive oil (slightly less then suggested) and it turned out amazing. I added a tiny bit of cheese and my 2year old daughter ate it up. It made a lot so I was able to freeze half for later. I really enjoyed it as stuffing for home made burritos with some beans and a little cheese and sour cream. YUM!

I love quinoa but thought this recipe was too bland. The only change was to sautee 1 small zuchinni with the other veggies. It was good but needs some zip.

My kids don't like tomatoes so I made this sans tomato ingredients. Also, I used 2 c broth based on other reviews and actually had to add about another cup of broth to finish the Quinoa - we like ours soft. My whole family LOVED this! Even my kids who usually don't want to see anything green in their food ate it peppers and all! I used basil and oregano for seasoning and added a little kosher salt. Yummmy! Thanks

Thanks to all the excellent comments, this turned out great. I used only 2 cups of water and cooked it 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for while stirring it regularly. The longer cooking time really allowed the quinoa to open up and reveal its wonderful nutty flavor. Oh, yeah, I also added some asparagus near the end when I put the tomatoes in for a nice added color and texture.

I did make a couple of changes....mostly because of what I had in house, but this was GREAT! I didn't have broth...so I dropped 4 bouillon cubes in 4 cubes of h2o. I didn't want to open tomato puree, so I skipped it. I only had one orange and one yellow pepper, so that's what I used. I had to cook it a bit longer to reduce the liquid, but, boy was it good!! thanks!!

This is a very healthy and filling meal! I really enjoyed it. I also used only 1.5 cups of (chicken) broth. When I was re-heating it the next day, I added a little bit of shredded cheese and let it melt. I think it added some flavor to the dish. A little note for those who are not familiar with quinoa - lots of little pieces will get stuck in your teeth! :)
