Just finished a 1-1/2x batch. I made it with tricolor quinoa & followed your recipe & also added some green garlic & spinach, which I had just bought with the parsley at the Farmer's Market today. It's touch moister than usual, so maybe increasing the liquid the same amount as the quinoa wasn't right, but it's still delicious. Only I don't think even this larger batch will make it anywhere near 6 servings... Thanks
