Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 medium ears of corn -- husked and silked

salt

1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves

3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

ground black pepper

12 ounces quinoa-corn rotelle

 

1. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in large pot. Prepare tomatoes: halve, seed,

and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Set aside.

 

2. Add corn and salt to boiling water and cook until kernels are crisp-tender,

about 4 minutes. With tongs, remove corn from water and rinse under cool running

water. (Do not discard water in pot.) When corn is cool, stand ears on end on

cutting board and remove kernels with sharp knife.

 

3. Combine corn, tomatoes, parsley, basil, chives, oil, vinegar, and salt and

pepper to taste in large bowl.

 

4. Return water in pot to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and

toss with corn-tomato sauce. Serve immediately or cool and serve at room

temperature.

NOTES : I especially like the rotelle made with quinoa and corn in this recipe.

You could also use other shapes that will trap bits of corn and tomato, such as

shells or fusilli.
