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!

This was a fantastic side dish with grilled salmon. My family doesn't care for garbanzo beans so I substituted a cup of frozen peas and added them at the same time as the quinoa. The only other thing I might change next time would be to reduce the raisens to 1/4 cup. 1/2 cup made the dish a little too sweet. Otherwise, delish!

Absolutely delicious! I also heaped the spices. Used black beans and toasted slivered almonds because that is what I had on had. My husband and I love it.

Fantastic. Added grilled chicken seasoned with Lawry's seasoning salt on top and doubled spices using 1 tsp hot curry powder and 2 tsp regular. Used half the salt called for. Even picky son raved about it.

The only thing I did different is up the spices...and I doubled the recipe. Great recipe to compliment an Indian dinner.

Wow, this is sensational! The only change I made was to change the raisins to dried cherries. Everything else was perfect. Thanks a lot!

I found it a bit spicy for my tastes, but then again I'm a wimp when it comes to heat. Next time I'll reduce the spices just a little (and possibly reduce the cinnamon a little extra). Otherwise great flavour! The husband loved it. I wasn't able to use pine nuts - a little out of the budget right now. Thanks for a recipe that wasn't boring like all the other quinoa recipes out there!
