Quinoa with Corn and Scallions Recipe

Quinoa with Corn and Scallions Recipe

  • 1¼ cups quinoa, rinsed in a fine sieve
  • 1 natural, salt-free vegetable bouillon cube
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 3 to 4 scallions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ cup minced fresh herb of your choice (cilantro, parsley, or dill, or a combination), or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed or extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  1. 1 Combine the quinoa and bouillon cube with 2½ cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Stir in the corn, scallions, and cumin, and continue to cook, still covered, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is puffy, about 5 minutes longer.
  3. 3 Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herb and oil. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
