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.
