My review
Spanish-Style Quinoa
Momi
"This quinoa dish is a delicious and higher protein alternative to Spanish rice. This is a nice side dish to a Mexican meal, or it can be used as a filling in burritos. I like my food on the less-salty side, so you may have to adjust the seasonings to your taste."

Ready In
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the quinoa, onion, garlic, and green pepper. Cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes until the onion is tender, and the quinoa has lightly toasted. Stir in the tomato sauce and water, then season with the chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Stir the quinoa occasionally as it cooks.

The recipe was good, but I added black beans, a bit of salsa, and used it to stuff peppers. Those changes helped, it would have been slightly bland otherwise.

This was fantastic. It is a clever take on traditional Spanish rice. I used canned tomatoes instead of tomato sauce to give it a little more of appeal.

Great recipe. They're delicious stuffed in green peppers. I boil the peppers for 5 or so minutes first to soften them, then add the quinoa mixture and put back in the oven to melt with pepper ja...

My sister and I really enjoy this recipe. The only thing I do differently is add less liquid as the first time around it was a little too mushy and we add more spices. This recipe is a keeper an...

My favorite quinoa recipe so far. I increased the spice a bit, and added some salt at the end, and it really hit the spot!
