This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used brown quinoa instead of white quinoa, and I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a handful of baby spinach. It turned out really well!

I followed the recipe exactly and my risotto turned out too mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid. I'll try it again with less liquid next time.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful. I also think it would have been better with some grated Parmesan cheese on top.
