I had fish and tri color quinoa to use, so tried this. The flavor was great- never thought to but beef and lemon together. But I couldn't make a "packet" with how much quinoa and boiled liquid there was. It was just too much stuff, too hot to handle. I had to just fold everything in and hope for the best, and I still ended up with a lot of liquid in the end. A tight cover on a casserole dish might have worked better for me. Also, the photo is not fair. LOL You must have sat there and separated everything out. My final look was a mountain of veggie infused quinoa, and maybe a fish under there if you can find it. :)
