    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/25/2011   I made this recipe this evening with a couple of changes and loved it. One cup of quinoa cooked in two cups of chicken broth (about 14 mins) let stand for 15 minutes. I omitted the pine nuts. Will make again, good accompaniment to fish  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/19/2009   Follow the proportions in the recipe from Martha, unless you want it to be the consistency of mush!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/14/2009   Because of the controversy over the amount of water necessary for the recipe, I cooked the quinoa according to the instructions found at epicurious.com in their lemon quinoa recipe. This method produced a VERY fluffy result which was delightful. Beyond the cooking method for the quinoa, I followed the MSL recipe exactly and it was utterly delicious! What a great combination of flavors. I will be making this again and again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/09/2009   Wrong proportions for the quinoa.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/30/2008   My guess is the recipe is referring to 2 cups cooked quinoa - that would be 1 c dry to 2-21/4 c water when cooking. 4 c cooked quinoa seems like way too much for the other ingredients in the recipe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/10/2008   I just made this - but I increased the water to 4 cups, as 2 1/4 cups didn't seem like enough. I looked at several other recipes for quinoa, and they all had a two to one ratio of water to quinoa. Even the directions on my package said one cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Anyone have a problem with just the 2 /14 cups of water? Its delicious, by the way! taking it to a potluck dinner tonight.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/08/2008   This is a lovely, flavorful side dish with just a bit of a crunch. It went great with the Roast Maple-Glazed Salmon at epicurious.com. Topped off with some sautn n n n ed asparagus, it made a delicious, eye-pleasing meal.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/13/2008   This was so easy and delicious. I served it as a room temperature salad similar to couscous and everyone loved it. It's a wonderful simple supper or dish for sharing/entertaining.
