My stepmother's doctor told her to take in a lot of protein (vegetarian) and someone told her to try quinoa. I had heard of it, but had never made it so I tried to make it as flavorful as possible for my first time. Here's what I did:
Sautee some garlic and onion together until translucent, add 2 handfuls of chopped walnuts and cook until fragrant, stirring often. Add quinoa and the appropriate amount of vegetable broth. Cover and cook until ring around quinoa forms. Remove from heat and fluff.
The recipe was kind of off the top of my head, she's supposed to take in a lot of walnuts in this strange little diet thing and she's now able to eat garlic, after a month without.
The problem was, it lacked flavor. It just didn't really taste like anything. I wasn't too fond of it, I'm extremely sensitive to textures and that texture just did not work.
What did I do wrong? What could I add or remove for next time? :(
Thank you guys, I look forward to your advice.

It's a wonderful thing to be spoiled in the way of food.
