  1. I would be reducing the recipe to 2. Now if I wanted to use already package Quinoa the 90 second kind. After it’s cooked, to add what amount would equal the correct amount to add to the rest of ingredients. Thank you Judy

  1. Excellent! I have two daughters home for the summer that follow the vegan way of eating. I found this recipe was a great way to make one meal for the entire family. The filling has an excellent flavour. It would be nice on its own.I did not have mushrooms so I substituted celery. I substituted parsley for corriander.
     
  2. *Made for My 3 Chefs* Delicious! This is a great way to use quinoa in a recipe. This is easy to make and has lots of flavor. I think this would also be good with other sauteed vegetables (summer squash, etc). I coarsely chopped the mushrooms and added some salt and pepper to the filling. Other than that, I made this as written and my family loved it. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.
