Quinoa with Corn and Zucchini

Quinoa with Corn and Zucchini

1 c regular quinoa

2 c water

1 T olive oil

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 can corn, drained

cilantro, salt and pepper to taste

Rinse quinoa. Add to 2 c water in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Turn to medium heat and cook 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and translucent and each grain displays a little thread. Drain quinoa of excess water.

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and zucchini and cook a few minutes (you'll want the zucchini to be mostly cooked before you add the corn). Add corn and continue cooking until zucchini is tender and corn is warmed through. Salt and pepper to taste (I also added a little garlic powder because my cloves of garlic didn't give it enough flavor).

Add quinoa and chopped cilantro to skillet. Mix well and serve!
