Quinoa And Corn With Scallions - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 plump ears of corn
2 cups water (or stock)
1 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil (or butter)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion, including some of the greens
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Preparation
-
Shuck the corn, slice off the kernels, and set aside.
Reverse your knife and scrape the cobs to get the milk.
Bring the stock or water to a boil; add the quinoa, corn scrapings and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
Melt the butter in a small skillet, add the scallions and corn kernels and cook over medium high heat until the scallions are bright green, about 3 minutes.
Toss them with the quinoa.
Season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with the crumbled cheese.
