Quinoa Stuffed Peppers (Recipe by Marina)
This is a really great vegetarian dish that everyone will love!
Ingredients:
- 4 large peppers
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- Handful small mushrooms, crimini or portobello
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 carrot
- 1x14 oz can diced tomatoes
- Small bunch parsley
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons shredded cheese
To Make:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Boil 2 cups water in small pot. When boiling, add 1 cup quinoa, reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, covered.
- Meanwhile, dice/chop onion, carrot, and mushrooms so everything is the same size.
- Heat large pan on medium-high heat, add a few tablespoons olive oil, and add vegetables. Saute for a few minutes until everything is soft and golden.
- Add cumin, thyme, coriander, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large pot, heat up a few cups of water. Halve your peppers lengthwise and discard insides and seeds. Once water is boiling, drop in the peppers. Boil for 3 minutes and immediately transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Add quinoa to vegetable pan and saute for 1 minute.
- Arrange peppers in a baking pan. Stuff with filling.
- Spoon canned diced tomatoes over the peppers evenly and in between.
- Sprinkle over top with cheese.
- Add a bit of chopped parsley.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until peppers are softer and cheese is melted.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
- Enjoy!
Possibly my favorite cuisine, to cook as well as eat, Indian. The smell alone is enough to have you salivating. This was my take on Chicken Saag, served over cumin-infused basmati, with fresh naan. This is the epitome of comfort food in my eyes. Non-traditional? Maybe. Warming, comforting, and delectable? Absolutely — more so than mac n’ cheese.
