Ingredients

3 cups water

1 cup quinoa

1 pinch salt

3 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

0.5 cup corn kernels

1 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tsp cumin

salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, chopped

Directions

In a saucepan, combine water, quinoa, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let simmer until quinoa is tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain using a mesh strainer; set aside.

Meanwhile, in another saucepan, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, cooking until it softens and fragrance mellows (about 2 minutes). Insert bell pepper and corn, cooking until the pepper softens (around 5 minutes). Mix in oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 more minute before incorporating cooked quinoa and green onions.

Serve hot or cold.
