1 15ozcan hominydrained and well-rinsed (can substitute frozen corn)
1/4cupfinely chopped cilantro
.125tspsalt and pepper
Instructions
Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse thoroughly and vigorously for about 3 minutes. This gets the bitter-tasting outer coating off the seeds. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the quinoa and toast for 3-5 minutes. Add the broth, cumin and cayenne pepper and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Stir in the drained and rinsed beans and hominy. Cook until heated through. Add the cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
