Notes: If you don’t have fresh sage or thyme handy, you can substitute dried. However, we highly recommend finding some fresh herbs to get the full effect of this dish! The rule of thumb is to substitute three parts fresh herb to one part dried; here we’d use about 1 tablespoon rubbed sage and 1½ tablespoons whole thyme. Only use ground dried herbs if that’s all you can find; if so, you can use even less! This tastes best when the quinoa is freshly made, so if you can, try to time it so that you can serve right away.
