Preparation
 



Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Spread nuts in a single layer on an unoiled baking
sheet. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly deepened in color. Set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, saute onions and garlic in oil for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add
bell pepper, cumin and coriander; continue to saute for another 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally.


While vegetables cook, place quinoa in a fine sieve and rinse well under cold running
water for 1-2 minutes. Add rinsed quinoa and water to saucepan, cover tightly and simmer
gently for 15 minutes. Stir in basil and corn, and cook 5-10 minutes longer, or until
quinoa is tender. Stir to fluff it, add salt and pepper to taste and top with toasted pine
nuts. Serve hot.
