  Highly recommend this dish! I used different beans and added garlic and a splash of red wine. Drank the remainder, as an accompaniment of course (hic!) Enjoy :)

  Quite healthy and full of flavour! However with 3 tablespoons of chipotle it wasn't anywhere near hot enough for me personally, although I understand most people don't like super spicy food. My mum adored it though and is very enthusiastic for me to cook again. Overall it was a very satisfying, healthy midweek meal.

  I am a massive fab of this dish - Chipotle was hard to get hold of here in Dubai, but I now get my local mexican restaurant to prep it for me. Make this once a week - so easy you can do with your eyes closed.

  Lovely flavour but I wouldn't add the water to the recipe as makes the sauce too thin. I would also add some tomato paste to thicken up. Apart from that very easy!

  Just made this for my partners dinner, I don't like smokey stuff it appears I am eating a big bowl of it as we speak! It's delicious. I bought the chipotle paste from asda in a 100g jar, put it all in. I also put half a can of water in which was possibly still too much! Beautiful!

  just making this now for two, but using 3 tbsp paste, we like it spicy. you definitely don't need the water, it would be far too runny in my opinion. just taste tested and it's good! added some green beans for crunch and extra veg, can't wait to eat the whole dish! added some lime zest to the quinoa as well just because it was there and I hate to waste anything. yummy!

  This is so yummy! I've never had quinoa before but it's a great alternative to rice & couscous. Didn't have chipotle paste but I used chilli, cajun seasoning, smoked paprika and a drizzle of lea & perrins for the smokiness and it actually tasted fantastic. Will definitely be making this again!

  This was tonight's dinner and it was yum! I'll definitely be cooking this again soon. I used ready cooked quinoa, I had in the cupboard, so it was even faster! Tasty, light meal.

  This was really easy and satisfyingly tasty with a complex, smokey flavour. I used a mix of green and red peppers and, since I did not have chipotle paste (chipotles are smoked jalapeno chilis) I used, from a small can of chipotles in adobo sauce, two teaspoons of the sauce together with one half of a chili. It turned out so flavourful, my husband and I really enjoyed it and I served it with plain rice and avocado on the side, to allow for my kids' picky taste as they won't eat quinoa ;) I added the beans directly to the stew. Another option as a replacement for chipotle paste, if you don't have it, is to use smoked paprika together with dried red (chili) pepper flakes, this is a good combo that I have used in soups and it works very well.
