Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 6 fresh bell peppers
  • 2 cups uncooked quinoa
  • 1 cup canned red kidney beans
  • 1 cup canned or frozen corn
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 1 tsp dry basil
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2/3 cup Feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup tomato puree

Instructions

  • Boil your quinoa according to package directions. I added one cup of quinoa and 3 cups of water, and I got about 3 cups of cooked quinoa. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet (make sure it's small to hold 6 stuffed peppers standing up) and spray with non-stick cooking spray, or olive oil.
  • Cut the tops of the peppers.  Remove the seeds from inside the peppers and stand them up in baking dish. Set aside.
  • Heat some olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and add the onion and all spices. Cook for a couple minutes or until the onion is fragrant but not brown.
  • Add the canned red kidney beans, and the corn. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, add the cooked quinoa and cook for a few minutes.
  • In the end add your tomato puree and stir well. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stuff your peppers with the quinoa mixture up to the top. Sprinkle some feta cheese on top.
  • Bake them with a baking aluminium foil on top for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the Feta is cooked and lightly brown.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
