Steps:
- Place quinoa in strainer. Rinse under cold running water until water runs clear; drain. Mix quinoa, 2 cups water, and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is just tender and almost all water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain. Set aside. (Quinoa can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover; chill.)
- Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add broth. Cover; simmer until leeks are tender, about 5 minutes. Add quinoa and oil; stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, onions, basil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- *A tiny, bead-shaped, ivory-colored grain available at natural foods stores.

c.riglene92@yahoo.comI followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out way too salty. I think it was the feta cheese that did it. Next time I'll use less cheese or omit it altogether.

imran44@hotmail.comThis dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful cheese. The quinoa was cooked well, but the overall dish was just a bit underwhelming.
