I had never made Quinoa before and wanted to try it. This sounded better than just using water. I really enjoyed it. I'll be using this when I make quinoa again! - 3/2/10

This was great. I added a small diced onion before the garlic because I couldn't help myself. And about 3 tbsp diced fresh chives after the 15 minutes because they were there. Will totally make again. Served with shrimp scampi. - 2/16/18

This was my first time trying quinoa, I didn't enjoy it. My package says 2 parts water, 1 part quinoa, so I wonder if I had used 1 cup of broth and 1/2 cup of quinoa it would have been fluffier. - 1/18/12

I am afraid my boyfriend and I both agreed that the roasted garlic made it rather bitter. I wouldn't recommend this for first time Quinoa makers/eaters. - 9/19/11

I had never tried Quinoa before. Decided to try this recipe as it looked simple and love garlic. I used 1 cup broth instead of 1/2 cup and thought it was really good. I would definitely make it again. - 9/14/13

The garlic made the quinoa a little bitter and it did not come out fluffy. In fact, I had to add water to get all the quinoa cooked. I think the measurements are off. - 6/21/13

I just tried this stuff for the first time! I added a can of Rotel tomatos with chilis. I will be making it again. I wonder if my husband will like it. We'll find out at dinner tonight. I wonder how good it is left over? - 8/26/11

I used this recipe to make quinoa for the first time. No one in my family had ever tried quinoa before, and we all liked it well enough that we'll be making it again! This recipe was so easy that I think I'll be using it again. - 4/19/10
