Really liked this. Made changes to use what I had on hand. I didn't have raisins so used Craisins and used black beans instead of garbanzo beans. Today I added shaved parmesan to the left overs and have enjoyed the flavor it added.

Yummy! This is a great way to eat quinoa . I just scaled it down for one serving so I could sample it for myself before making for anyone else. I really love how simple it is. Left out the chicken stock, cooked the quinoa separately and added it to the onions, garlic and spices and also added in some sweetcorn . The rasins make this dish what it is , nice contrast of sweet , salty and mild spice .

Yum! finally a quinoa recipe that got rave reviews! I only used the spices part...didn't add raisins, beans or pine nuts, but it was great anyways!

This dish is one of our family favorites!! It is so delicious yet so good for you. I normally add a tablespoon of curry as we like a stronger flavor. I also add toasted walnuts as they are cheaper than pine nuts.

This is the recipe I have been waiting for! I've been trying to find a way to prepare quinoa without ending up with a very bland dish. Thanks for sharing!!

Loved this "salad"! I made it for a gathering of women and many of them really liked it and even asked for the recipe. I ate it both warm and cold and both were good. I agree with the many folks who said don't forget the raisins. I didn't soak mine ahead of time because the extra broth did the job. I suggest waiting to just before serving to toss the pine nuts in so that they don't get mushy. Thanks for the recipe!

We did not care for this recipe. The ONLY saving grace for it was the pine nuts and raisins. Followed the recipe to the letter. I have already tossed my printed copy, and will be deleting it from my recipe box online. Sorry...it sounded interesting with flavors I love.

This was great! I used chopped walnuts because I didn't have the pine nuts and it worked out fine. When eating the leftovers the next day I added more dried fruit, specifically chopped dates. Delish!
