Quinoa with Mushrooms

I skipped the onion and garlic because my husband doesn’t like them. Next time I will use the onion and garlic anyway, or maybe add chopped red bell pepper. At the end of the allotted cook time I had to take the lid off and increase the temp to let the excess liquid cook off. Proportion of quinoa to broth was correct. Wondering if it had something to do with the fact I used bone broth instead of regular chicken broth? I added fresh chopped spinach near the end of the cook time to up the vitamin content. It was a good, nutritious dish and I expect it would be quite tasty made as directed.

I loved it! I was dubious when there were no spices included, but it’s so flavorful just as it is.

Loved it. Used shiitake mushrooms because they’re my fav. Added steamed sugar snap peas and a dollop of salty preserved lemons. Perfect together.

Bland, did not enjoy

Made this yesterday. Added finely chopped carrot and zucchini into the sauté pan as per a commenters suggestion. Otherwise followed all directions. Very tasty and hearty. Ate it as a vegetarian entree.

I loved it! It tastes great!

I hate to be that person, yet I admit that I didn’t use broth or parm cheese but I did use wild Chicken of the Woods mushrooms ….and I found that it did not have the amazing flavor that I wished and expected. I tried adding thyme and more garlic. I served it with the baby porchetta de’ chief John and that’s flavor carried/ overshadowed the quinoa. I may try this again with my humble attempts to spice it. Thanks for the starter help.

I made the quinoa separately in the Instant Pot. Sautéed onions, mushrooms and garlic adding Tastefully Simple’s Seasoned Salt. Once vegetable were done, I added a splash of vegetable broth and tossed in some spinach. I added the quinoa at the end.

It was excellent! I simmered for 20 minutes with everything in it, it seemed to give it tons of flavor!

This is a great risotto inspired dish! People should know to drain off excess broth once the quinoa is finished cooking. Also, add salt and pepper to taste towards the end of cooking the mushroom mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste at the very end as well with the entire mixture.

Pretty easy recipe to make. I liked it, but I think I want a little bit more flavor. Next time, I will add a little more cheese than the recipe calls for and maybe add another spice to make it a more complex flavor.

There is no better way to make quinoa. I use quinoa as a base for a lot of my recipes, and I am told time and time again that my quinoa is better than theirs. I have shared this recipe with a lot of people – it is really just the best. I don’t change anything from the recipe, it’s just perfect.

I liked this more than I thought I would. The only modifications I made were using avocado oil + beef broth. Was great!

I made it basically the way the recipe was written. It was delicious!

I had to cook it a bit longer, but then it came out perfect! The flavor was great.

We love quinoa but this one felt like it needed a touch of spice

I made this and I loved even my husband loved it and I thought it was gonna be a challenge to get him to eat quinoa but it was worth every effort and I will definitely make it again fantastic

I made this tonight and it is so delicious. Yes, I made some changes. I added diced zucchini, 1/2 diced yellow bell pepper that I had left over, and my husband who has a passion for tomatoes, diced 2 organic Roma tomatoes and added them to the mix. This stuff is awesome, quick and healthy meal. Thanks for posting the original recipe.

I thought this was awesome as a main dish or a side. I used veggie broth instead of chicken broth. This would be great for vegetarian friends who are coming for dinner! I can understand adding some other veggies for color though as it looks a little blah.

Love the rich flavor! My favorite quinoa recipe.

This was boring. It felt it was missing something…
