We're not really quinoa lovers. My teenager will not eat it. Tonight, he had seconds! This will be our new quinoa recipe. I'm sure the cheese makes the difference. Next time I will try with Parmesan. Pecorino is sometimes hard to find at our usual grocery store.

We really loved this recipe! I too the advice of some of the other reviewers and added more peas. Very flavorful. Will definitely make again!

Very tasty quinoa recipe. I used tri-color quinoa. I only had Parmesan cheese so I used that. It was very good. I'm not sure why the peas are in there--just extra carbs. I think I will leave them out next time.

I added Italian Seasoning (Food lion has a generic shaker of a blend of common spices- included Marjoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, sage, oregano, and basil ). I also used grated parmesan cheese instead of Romano cheese. Good!

I make this almost every week and I love it. This is what I do...I rinse the quinoa (some kinds you don't need to but the kind I buy you do), I add a teaspoon of coriander and cumin, and I add two cups of peas but not till the last 5 minutes of cook time so that they still have a little crunch. This is an awesome toddler food - my 1 year old loves this. Also - don't substitute the cheese. I've used parmesan just because I had it on hand and the pecorino is a much better flavor. I think I add more than a half a cup (ok, I know do but I tell myself it's there abouts). Wonderful recipe and it keeps in the fridge really well.

This was enjoyable, but really nothing to make it stand out. I wish I would have waited to add the peas until closer to the end of the cooking time.

Loved the flavor of the toasted quinoa. Didn't have fresh thyme or parsley, so mixed 1/4 tsp thyme and 2 tsp parsley in with stock. Still came out great.

Great flavor, but cooking the peas with the quinoa makes them a little gray & not so appetizing. Next time, I'll put the peas in when the quinoa is almost finished.

I served this as a healthy grain and veggie side dish to a fish meal. It was VERY tasty. The only things I tinkered with was I increased the amount of frozen veggies to 2c and used mixed veggies as that's what I had on hand. Also, i cut out the cheese at the end to save on calories. VERY tasty. I did rinse the quinoa first and cooked it in veggie broth. Cooking it in plain water doesn't give quinoa any taste. Thanks XTinaU!
