Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • ½ cup corn kernels

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

  1. Bring the quinoa, water, and 1 pinch of salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Once done, drain a mesh strainer, and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic softens and the aroma mellows, about 2 minutes. Add the red pepper, and corn; continue cooking until the pepper softens, about 5 minutes. Season with cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute more, then stir in the cooked quinoa and green onions. Serve hot or cold.
