2. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until lightly golden. Mix the pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, herbs, lime juice and 4 tbsp oil through the quinoa.

  I love this dish and have made it several times. I sometimes add shredded grilled chicken, and I often use walnut oil instead of olive oil as I think it complements the nutty taste of quinoa.

  I have made this recipe a couple of times and absolutely love it. I add a can of chick peas which really works well and usually only use a splash of olive oil which makes it a bit lighter. Great as an accompaniment to BBQs etc.

  I love this recipe! I have made it a few times for work and it is just always so divine. I have also added some peas which has added some crunchiness!

  Nice one! I was back in the UK in July and heard about quinoa from two different sources in one day, so it stuck in my mind and I vowed to find and try it when I got back home (I had seen this in a few of Gillian McKeith's recipes, but had no idea what it was).. So have just made this recipe and am very pleasantly surprised! I don't think quinoa will become my favourite food, but since it has the superfood qualities, it will definitely become a regular staple and this recipe in particular will be used again! Thank you :-)
