"I've been looking for quinoa recipes and found this one in Vegan Express by Nava Atlas. She recommends using a fragrant oil such as walnut oil or untoasted sesame oil but olive oil may be substituted if those oils aren't available."

  1. This was a very tasty side. I didn't put any salt or pepper on before I tasted it, and found that it really needed the salt to bring out the flavor of all the individual components. Loved those bursts of sweetness from the cranberries. I think walnuts would work if pine nuts were unavailable. made for SWT2019

  2. yum! Dreamer, we made veggie bowls with this recipe. Lined the bowls with baby spinach then added a spoonful of basmati rice, the vegetable mixture/beans, fresh mint and fresh cilantro, lime slices. Perfect! Bought organic cauliflower from the farmer's market just for this occasion, too! Don't skip the mint! Made for Veg Tag/April. Thank you!
