Quinoa and black beans

It has come to my attention, that some of you out there think that you're too cool, anti-hipster, or very worried about smallholder farmers in Peru and thus can't eat quinoa. While I can support any of those reasons, I think quinoa is delicious and you should stop thinking so much and just try it.  Anyway here's my secret quinoa and black beans recipe.  Simple, quick, healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

3/4 cup uncooked quinoa

1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup frozen corn kernels

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Sour cream

Grated cheddar, monterey jack, or pretty much any kind of cheese

Directions

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and saute until lightly browned. Mix quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and cilantro for those non-cilantro-haters, or sour cream and cheese for the cilantro-haters.
