Ingredients

• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth (I use soup mix dissolved in water)

• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 medium red pepper, chopped
• 4 scallions, chopped
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp. cumin
• ¼-½ tsp. cayenne pepper
• 3-4 T. lemon or lime juice

Procedure

Bring broth to boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Place quinoa in a fine mesh strainer & rinse under cold running water for 1-2 minutes; drain well. Add quinoa to boiling liquid. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat & let stand, covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork, transfer to a large bowl and let cool. Add remaining ingredients.
