  Got the recipe originally from the September 2010 magazine and made it (obviously!). Could not find quinoa anywhere so substituted it for more rice! Also could not find thyme leaves so WAS going to put in 2 tsps of dried thyme, but I forgot. Next time I will make double quantities as we found portions quite small! Very enjoyable and a good recipe!

  Quinoa is available in most health food stores. However. I f you don't have one close at hand. Marks & Spencers sell it. I think you'd need to live on the moon not to be able to find thyme leaves!!! Buy a plant at the supermarket or garden centre. Use what you need and plant it in the garden...Thyme leaves for life!

  I made this risotto within a couple of hours of receiving my copy of GF.....luckily I had recently bought some quinoa from my local Sainsburys and had thyme in the garden, it was gorgeous, definitely one to put on the regulars list!!

  This recipe is brilliant. Quinoa really makes a big difference. Did you try freshly grated parmesan? If you really don't like it, any other hard cheese you do like works well.

  Wow, I really wasn't expecting this to be as nice as it was. Only change I made to the recipe was using dried thyme instead of fresh which I added with the mushrooms at the start to give it a chance to give off it's flavour.

  Very nice. The quinoa/thyme makes it a bit more exciting than your average risotto. Needs lots of freshly ground black pepper!

  This was a really tasty recipe and leftovers were ideal for lunch. I have to say that I griddled some pork to go with it for dinner just so my husband didn't feel deprived! Pork went very well. Will definately make this recipe again.

  As my boyfriend can't seem to eat risotto rice I made this with just plain brown rice and it was delicious. Just had to cook for a bit longer. I added peas and threw in chard at the end instead of rocket. I added finely chopped garlic at the start as we love it in everything! Tasty and easy.

  Not eaten quinoa before and not keen on it. Will stick to rice in my risottos as we really didn't like the texture. Each to their own I guess

  I think this would be really bland if you stuck to the recipe - a splash of white wine, lots of black pepper and lots of parmesan needed to pep this up. I use quinoa a lot but I'm not sure about mixing it with rice. I like using red rice for rissotti, which also gives it a nice, nutty texture.

  Made this for the whole family- went down a real treat! Lovely with a nice cold glass of white wine served with crusty bread. The recipe is spot on, and if followed correctly- the results are explosive!

  Faff free dinner, if you don't mind stirring! We stuck to the recipe and found this quite bland. Will definately add a splash of white wine, some pepper and possibly some porcini mushrooms for extra flavour. Also found it quite filling, happy tums!

  Loved this! Never had Quinoa before so was exited to try it, made a nice change from jut rice. The only thing I would say is the portions are small, will double up next time.
