Wonderful! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It is always fantastic to hear when the carnivorous type are won over by a vegetable dish. Warms my heart

I loved this recipe, and so did my husband, who is a meat and potatoes guy. It lasted me for several days, and made a convenient lunch to bring to work.

Soups are awesome this time of year…especially ones that have quinoa in them! Not only great tasting, but a complete protein as well…a true “staple” of my diet.

Actually, I would agree with Mike that the red quinoa is a bit elusive…I haven’t seen it since I was in southeastern Peru.

I was contemplating about making some black bean w/ tempeh chili or a mung bean dal, but maybe I’ll try this recipe out first. It has a good variety of ingredients that I’m familiar with, and I love curry-esque concoctions.

Oddly I liked the red quinoa even more than regular quinoa. Go figure.

You should definitely try it. It tastes exotic, but all the spices are pretty common. It is a unique flavor combination, but not hard to achieve.

I went with romanesco as the main fresh vegetable. It is a cruciferous vegetable just like kale Also, I was eating the tagine for lunch and usually chard and sardines/beans for dinner.

This one wasn’t very soupy (but soup is great!), more like a curry. It’s easy and delicious, you should try it!

At first, I was skeptical about the word “soup”, but that recipe looks pretty tempting. I think I might have to try that sometime.

And yes, peer pressure can be pretty bad when it comes to eating lunch in an office setting. I gained a lot of weight at my last job for this reason.

I almost made a Moroccan dish like this the other night, but chickened out. Maybe I’ll give this one a try; it doesn’t have the volume of leafy-greens that you usually go for though, I guess the romanesco makes up for it? Sure looks good.

Looks like a great recipe! I love tagine, and what a great meal during the winter. You're so right on and I always preach, "cook once, eat twice (or 3 times..)" the best way to cook & eat right.
Thanks for your recipes!

Woooow!!! The elusive red quinoa caught on camera! lol that stuff looks okay I guess; I could just imagine explaining to my buddies what I’m eating though……In the end they’d be jealous. Thanks for the idea!
