Quinoa and Black Beans

SO I have been looking and trying different quinoa recipes and have been disappointed with past recipes. THIS recipe however, was delicious. I love quinoa, black beans and corn so this was one of my favs.

Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. corn
2 cans (15oz) black beans
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic and saute till lightly brown. Mix quinoa into the sauce pan and cover with vegetable  broth and add cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce heat and  Let simmer for 20 minutes.

Stir in corn and simmer for five more minutes. Then add black beans and cilantro. YUm Yum Yum! This was a hit in our home.
