3 plump ears of corn

1 cup quinoa ; thoroughly rinsed
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tbs butter or canola oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, including some green
1/3 cup crumbled feta or grated Cheddar

INSTRUCTIONS

Shuck the corn, slice of the kernels, and set them aside. Reverse your knife and scrape the cobs to get the milk. Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan; add the quinoa, corn scrapings, and 1/2 tsp salt. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Melt the butter in a small skillet, add the scallions and cork kernels, and cook over medium-high heat until the scallions are bright green, about 3 minutes. Toss them with the quinoa. Season with pepper and serve, garnished with the crumbled cheese.
