We just love it. I added about 5 cloves of crushed garlic toward the end of the 'sautee the onions' phase. I'm sure at your house you could do with 2 or 3. :) - This dish comes out extremely visually unappealing. It's a big brown slog, but it's DELICIOUS. I would think about topping it with slices of avocado, diced tomato, and some green onion, just for color's sake, but also because they're good pairings for the chili-flavors here. - I fricken love KEEN WAH A few notes:

He's a 'meat and potatoes' type guy, so he was leery about trying this chili. We were both pleasantly surprised. The quinoa imparted a very meaty texture to the chili, which was thick and hearty. It had a wonderful depth of flavor, despite the short cooking time (another reason I liked it). My husband actually said he liked it, not his usual "it's okay" comment. I will definitely make this again.

To rinse, I use a paper coffee filter (grains are small) placed inside my regular colander. Rinse repeatedly until rinse water is completely clear and no more soapy-looking bubbles are produced.
