    1/2 cup of White Wine
    1 teaspoon ground Cumin
    1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

    1 teaspoon Olive Oil, extra virgin

    4 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced

Tips

Tips:
- Sprits with a bit of lemon or lime juice for brightness!
- For a different flavor; omit the cumin, swap out 4 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes chopped for the roasted red peppers and swap parmesan cheese for the feta.


Directions

1. In a medium saucepan add chicken broth, wine, cumin, cayenne pepper and oregano and bring to a boil. Add in the quinoa, cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and quinoa is translucent.

2. Heat the oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Stir in the onions and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned.

3. Mix the quinoa, corn, onions, garlic, black beans and edamame in a large bowl. Then gently fold in half of the roasted red peppers, feta, chives and basil and then gently fold in the remaining half.
