this is a very good recipe. It works perfectly as written. I made it twice. The second time, I just added raw broccoli when I started cooking the quinoa and carrots. I also added cooked chickpeas and hot peppers, then used red, black, and white quinoa. This is good as written but versatile enough to add ingredients without ruining it. Thank you for the recipe Read More
