Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers (8/24/08)

This recipe is easy to vary and gives a big pay off. Saute onions, garlic, peppers (we used small black (sweet) peppers from the farmer's market), and whatever else you want to throw in. Toss with cooked quinoa (follow the box). Add a touch of pasta sauce &/or olive oil for moisture. Add salt & pepper. Toss. I threw chopped parsley in at the end, for color.

I used poblano chili peppers, but you can use any pepper to stuff. Slice them down the side & scoop out the seeds, then load in the delish mix. I over-stuffed, so they exploded. Of course. But who cares! Roast these babies in a casserole dish or on a tray at 450F for 35 min. Add cheese (we used shredded white cheddar) for the last few minutes. Soooooo tasty. And fairly healthy.
