A delicious side dish bursting with fresh flavors!

Ingredients:

• 1. 2 ears corn
• 2. 1 cup quinoa (any color)
• 3. 1 small lemon
• 4. 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 5. sea salt
• 6. 1/2 bunch scallions
• 7. 5 mini peppers

Instructions:

1. Shuck and rinse corn, then cook. You can boil but I recommend grilling them over medium for about 20 minutes, flipping once.
2. Rinse the quinoa then place in a pot. In a measuring cup, add the juice and zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons vegan butter, then fill with water up to the 2 cup mark. Pour into the pot with the quinoa and add a pinch of salt, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is gone.
3. Slice the scallions and set aside. THINLY slice the peppers and add to the pot for the last 5 minutes or so.
4. Slice the corn off the cob and stir in. Taste and add S&P as needed. Top with the scallions before serving.
