Coconut Quinoa image

A nice change from plain old grains. Quinoa has become a staple in our home because it only takes about 15 minutes to cook as opposed to 45 minutes for brown rice. I use canned coconut milk or coconut milk from the carton interchangeably. However, the coconut milk from the carton is sweetened, which my family likes but might not be right with some main dishes.

This was my first time making coconut quinoa and it turned out amazing! The recipe was easy to follow and the flavors were delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I tried this recipe and it was really easy to make. The only thing I changed was that I used brown rice instead of quinoa. It turned out great! I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. The quinoa was also a little dry. Overall, I was disappointed with this dish.

Delicious and easy to make! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The quinoa was fluffy and the coconut milk added a creamy richness. I served it with grilled chicken and vegetables and it was a perfect meal. Will definitely make aga
