Ingredients:

Serving

3 plump ears of corn
2 cups water (or stock)
1 cup quinoa , thoroughly rinsed
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp canola oil (or butter)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion , including some of the greens
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions:

Shuck the corn, slice off the kernels, and set aside.
Reverse your knife and scrape the cobs to get the milk.

Melt the butter in a small skillet, add the scallions and corn kernels and cook over medium high heat until the scallions are bright green, about 3 minutes.
