Quinoa and Corn With Scallions image

i had a little bit of quinoa left and fresh corn was in season, so i thought this recipe from Deborah Madison's book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone might go well with my barbecued tempeh. My guest agreed and said i needed to make this again and could they get the recipe )
