Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
2 cups stock
1 clove of garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 scallions chopped
1/2 cup red pepper
1/2 cup green pepper
3/4 cup sweet corn
1/4 baby lima beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
pepper to taste
Directions
Add quinoa, stock, lime zest, garlic, and salt to a pot and bring to a boil. One you hit a boil bring the heat down and cover the pot. Cook for about 15 min, or until all of the stock is absorbed. While the quinoa is cooking chop up the scallions, red pepper, and green pepper into small pieces. I used frozen corn and lima beans so at this point I microwaved them to defrost them.
Once the quinoa is finished cooking remove from heat and mix in olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, and pepper until the quinoa is well coated. Finally, toss in the scallions, peppers, corn, and lima beans. Enjoy immediately, at room temperature, or chilled!
