Lily squeezed 2 cloves of garlic into a warm pot with a glug of olive oil and warmed it for just a minute.
Then we added 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of black beans, 2 handfuls of corn kernels, 1 cup worth of white and red quinoa, 1 cup of vegetable broth, a bit of cumin, salt, and pepper.
All that we brought to a boil and let simmer until the quinoa was soft. About 20 minutes.
We served it with some avocado and juice of 1 lime. For the adventurous type we had Tabasco at hand. You might think we used a knife there, but hey - use a spoon.
