My New Roots - Quinoa Risotto with Grilled Scapes and Arugala

Taking a break from squash and zucchini for a bit, we gave this recipe from the My New Roots cookbook a try.  I found some garlic scapes at a local farmer's market and as a garlic lover found myself intrigued.

The recipe turned out really well (even if my picture is a little green).  The one change I'd make next time is to use less arugala.  The recipe calls for 3 cups and I used a packed 3 cups but I'd probably use a loose 3 cups next time.  The risotto ended up a bitterer than I think I would have liked and there weren't really any components helping to offset the bitterness.
