Five (Or More!) Ingredient Garlic Quinoa image

This makes such a nice side dish. I even like it cold as a salad the next day! 06/28/08 - UPDATE!! As I have already said, I like this for a salad too. Today I added some chopped egg whites, chopped black olives, some scallions (green and white). I then tossed with one tbls each of EVOO and red wine vinegar. Realllllly good! 07/24/08 - ANOTHER UPDATE! Wow, instead of using the fresh garlic, use roasted! I had several bulbs roasting while I was making dinner. They smelled SOOO good and that is when I figured it could only make this dish better. Just leave out the minced garlic and when the dish is finished, stir in about five squeezed out chopped cloves and then serve. YUM! 07/29/08 - STILL ANOTHER UPDATE! I have really gotten on the quinoa bandwagon. Put together two more recipes, so if you like quinoa as much as me, take a look. I'm not bragging, just sharing a good thing....recipe#316192 and recipe#316159.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my garlic quinoa turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The quinoa was a bit dry and the flavors were not very pronounced.

I found that the quinoa took a bit longer to cook than the recipe stated. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I'll definitely make it again.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices or a sauce.

I'm not usually a fan of quinoa, but this recipe changed my mind. The garlic and herbs really elevate the flavor and make it a really satisfying dish.

This garlic quinoa was so delicious and easy to make! I added some chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and it turned out perfectly. Definitely a new favorite recipe!
