Coconut-Creamed Corn and Grains

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1 cup uncooked bulgur wheat
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can coconut milk
• 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring the whole time so it softens without scorching.
3. Stir in the corn, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, mixing now and then.
4. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Turn the heat down to low, then stir in the bulgur wheat and quinoa. Continue simmering for 15 minutes, until the grains are tender and the liquid has been taken up.
6. Fold in the cilantro leaves and serve warm.
