This was very good!I used it as a side dish with my moroccan turkey stew.Amazing flavors that complimented great.Only thing I did different was to use canned mushrooms and I used cilantro instead of parsley...personal preference.I like it in almost everything instead of parsley.I only wished it made more so I could have some left overs.Trust me...double or triple it!YumReply

I finally purchased some quinoa & this is my 1st dish to try it. It worked pretty good and was tasty. I liked the fresh lemon flavour added at the end. Thanks for sharing.Reply
