question

Would it be OK to use quinoa in this instead of couscous?

Thanks for your question. We haven't tried this with quinoa and if you want to do so, you will need to cook the quinoa according to the pack instructions. It cannot be cooked in the same way as couscous. You could combine the same flavours though, using mint, lemon and spring onion.
