I added the garlic and olive oil to the quinoa and water, then added the spinach for the last 4 minutes. 1 less pot to clean. Picky hubby LOVED it, as did I. Thank you. - 8/28/12

This was our first time eating quinoa and my whole family loved it. I used baby spinach and non-fat feta as that is what I had in the house. Loved the quinoa flavor! I doubled the recipe for a family of 4 and there was a ton! - 8/5/09
