  1. Hi Linda, I made this recipe and it was AWESOME!! I have a question regarding the serving size. At 1 1/2 Cups per servings….I only got 2 servings out of it. We followed it to a T.

  2. At 5 servings, this recipe is 5 points plus. It is 3 if you plug in the quinoa as 1 c. cooked instead of uncooked, which is what the recipe calls for.

  3. The serving size is off (I got six servings with 1/2 a cup a serving), as are the calories(178 calories per 1/2 cup) and points (5pts per 1/2 cup)… : ( Glad I hadn't planned on this being the only thing for dinner. However, it was delicious.

    1. Marie, In the meantime, over medium heat add olive oil to a medium skillet, add sun-dried tomatoes and garlic and sauté one minute. Add oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt and artichokes and sauté one additional minute.

  4. Any suggestions for someone who doesn't like artichokes? What do you think would be a good replacement?

  5. Looks so good!! If you were to serve chicken with this dish…which recipe would you choose?? After checking the pantry the only ingredient I am missing is the sun dried tomatoes…what else would you use??

  6. this sounds great if you used a few cans of diced tomatoes instead of vegetable broth and added in everything Dylan mentioned.

  7. Tried it, LOVED it! This is such a simple recipe that's packed with flavor, and the best part is the main ingredients can be stocked in the cupboard. Love that. Next time I make this I will probably double up on the quinoa, or at least use 50% more. I use coconut oil for the sauté, but only about a teaspoon, as the oil from the tomatoes contributes well. Great recipe!

  8. LOVE this recipe! My first time eating quinoa…had NO idea what to expect. But this recipe was divine.

  9. I love this recipe so much. This is my second week eating it as a prepped meal for all my suppers and I plan to do it again next week. I love how easy and healthy quinoa is, LOVE sun dried tomatoes and I add an extra jar of capers since I love them in quinoa. This recipe was super simple to prep and I’m working with limited dishes (one mixing bowl, one pot, one frying pan) in my temporary German apartment but it works!

  10. I just made this, I added leeks and quorn and its was completely delicious! This will be a go to dinner for me
