Amazing. The quinoa was the only good quinoa I've ever tasted. Ha! I substituted andouille sausage for the chorizo and jalapenos for the poblanos. Turned out great. Also instead of removing sausage from pan I sliced it first cooked then just added everything else in according to the instructions. I thought this was easier and added flavor to the whole dish.
Had being hearing all sorts of good things about Quinoa so last time I was at the store I picked some up. Not knowing what to do with it I searched allrecipes.com and found this! The dish was very good. I will make again. Followed directions but you can definitely cook much less Quinoa. I had plenty extra after eating all the peppers and sausage. Also I used Pork Chorizo because there was no Chicken Chorizo at the market I shop.
Delicious! Recipe is a great base for modifications - omitted bell peppers and it was wonderful. Also made only 2 cups quinoa (to 4 cups stock) and had leftovers. This was my first attempt at making and eating quinoa and I am hooked!
I'm giving this recipe five stars because it got me thinking in a different direction. Due to flavour preferences and what I had on hand my dish became more of an Italian rather than Spanish inspired dish but it was wonderful. And it got me to try quinoa (which is now a staple in my kitchen!)...
I don't make a lot of recipes twice but this is DELIC! I tweaked it by cutting the recipe in half and added spicy chicken sausage.
We liked this recipe a lot however when I make it again I'll only make half the amount of quinoa because we have tons left and not enough peppers/sausage to go with it. My boyfriend added hot sauce but I liked the flavor just the way it was.
Yummy! I didn't have sausage so I used chicken would have been better with Sausage but still turned out well. I also didn't have the hot peppers so to add flavor I used spicy V8 instead of the last cup of chicken stock. Will make again with the correct ingredients.
This was so GOOD!! First time trying Quinoa and I loved it. I will be using it over and over again in other recipes. I did use vegetable stock because I didn't have Chicken and less quinoa because I thought it was a lot and not sure I was going to like it. I also added mushrooms chopped fine with the onions because I had some:) A lot of good flavor going on here.....
Very nice recipe! Great way to use up some extra quinoa I had.
