Pepper Stuffed with Quinoa and Charred Corn Salad

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the quinoa. Reduce the heat to the lowest heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid. Place in a serving bowl.

2. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking oil and place over medium heat. Cook the corn, stirring frequently, until it begins to char, about 5 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the broccoli and red pepper. Cook for 4 minutes, or just until the vegetables begin to soften. Transfer to the bowl with the quinoa.

3. Add the remaining ingredients to the quinoa and toss to coat.

4. To roast the red peppers, remove the seeds, cap and roots from the bell peppers. Roast bell peppers at 425F for 15 minutes, just until tender. Then stuff with the filling when made.
