@s_surther, quinoa adapts any flavor it's like cooking rice it takes about 20minutes. I salute fresh garlic in olive oil then place veg broth and let it cook it's a grain and it will open that's how u know it's done when I describe how to know it's done some folks tell me they don't like my description so I'll leave it at that. I've used rice drink at low heat vanilla extract to make like tapioca, like I said it. Takes any flavor u may added to salads I did try to make it like Chinese rice that did not work
