Preparation

Step 1

1 Combine the quinoa and bouillon cube with 2½ cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

2 Stir in the corn, scallions, and cumin, and continue to cook, still covered, until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is puffy, about 5 minutes longer.

3 Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herb and oil. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
