I love the nutty flavor of quinoa. This is so good and healthy for you. Remember when using quinoa you have to rinse, rinse, rinse.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes to the ingredients and cooking method.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less figs.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quinoa turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but this dish changed my mind! The flavors were amazing and the quinoa was cooked perfectly.

This was a great recipe! I used brown quinoa instead of white and it turned out great. The figs and pimientos added a nice sweetness and crunch.
