Excellent and FAST! Whole family loved it and I did it with leftover quinoa. I don’t think the other reviewer actually tried it since they commented on the lack of direction on cooking the quinoa, but you just follow the package directions . . . .

Didn’t tell me how to cook the quinoa. Can’t make the dish with out all the directions.
