This was delicious! I added the pine nuts too and that was a good touch.

Outstanding. After reading the comments, I added my own touches. I added 1/3 cup pine nuts when I toasted the raw quinoa. I used 1.5 cups "Silk" unsweetened coconut milk on hand from my frig. I added 3/4 cup dried cherries and a Tbsp of finely grated fresh ginger along with the liquids. Oh my. It was perfect. Very fluffy. I could eat it alone maybe with some of my newly created pomegranate molasses. I'm serving it with some roasted beets and caramelized leeks. Yum

Bland and mushy. Better uses for coconut milk and quinoa.

Not impressed. Thought it was bland even with the subtle flavor from the coconut milk. Not sure the addition of the coconut milk is worth the amount of calories it adds. Perhaps adding cilantro or other herbs and maybe handful of raisins or pine nuts would help add more flavor. Will keep making quinoa but not this recipe.

Wow, I really like this quinoa recipe. It's super easy and quick to make. I didn't have any coconut milk, so I used coconut cream (about 1/3 of the can) and mixed in about 3/4 C of water. I would add a little less salt, too. It's a good base to add vegetables, too, like grilled peppers or roasted celery root and carrots.

This is the first quinoa recipe that I have truly liked all on it's own. So yummy. Next time I will add only about 1/2 - 3/4 tsp salt instead of a whole teaspoon. I don't think it needs an entire tsp.
