Description

I try to eat healthy and feed my family healthy foods. Quinoa has a ton of protein and is full of amino acids that are great for tissue growth and repair. Did you know it also helps people with migraine headaches! It’s not just healthy, it tastes great. The peppers are sweet, the tomato sauce makes the quinoa juicy and tender and the basil gives it a nice summery feel.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Onion, Sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Sliced
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 2 cups Vegetable Stock
  • 2 Tablespoons Each Of Dried Basil, Parsley, And Thyme
  • 4 whole Peppers (Red, Yellow And Orange Are Much Sweeter Than Green)
  • 2 cups Tomato Sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Saute onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat till transparent, then add quinoa, 2 cups vegetable stock and herbs. Cook per instructions on the quinoa package.

While quinoa is cooking, prepare the peppers by cutting off the top and rinsing out seeds.

In an oven proof dish, cover bottom of pan with tomato sauce. When quinoa is done, stuff peppers with the filling mixture. Stand up the peppers in the dish and spoon the remaining tomato sauce over each pepper.

Cover the pan with a sheet of foil and cook at 350 F for an hour or until peppers are soft. Then remove the foil and cook for another 10 minutes uncovered.

I made this a few nights ago for 2 of my friends and we all loved it! The bell peppers were so tender and sweet and all of the flavors worked really well together. I’m making this again for sure!

I made this for my family and they raved about it. My brother and husband who don’t like anything out of the normal loved it.

My husband has made this recipe for our family a few times. I find we typically use more sauce at the end, but it’s yummy!!
