We were able to get our own place (woot woot)!! It's great being able to have our own space, and most importantly, now spend the much needed quality time with my family. With that being said, I love having everyone over for dinner. Its a great time to catch up and also a good practice to polish my skills and keep adding to my book of recipes :)
This time I made Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers. They turned out so so so good! I just have to share the recipe! The best part....so easy to make!!
Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers tops cut off, wash out seeds - your choice of type of bell pepper. I like to do them all different colors :)
- 1 Cup of cooked Quinoa - I used the Roland Roasted Garlic Quinoa
- I have inserted the link to Walmart, but you can definitely just go to your local store
- If you decide to use the same quinoa that I used, one package will be sufficient, follow instructions on packaging.
- 1 cup corn kernels - canned works also
- 1/2 cup canned black beans
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Salt and Pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl mix all ingredients: quinoa, corn kernels, black beans, cheeses, and cilantro. Don't forget salt and pepper to your taste :).
- With a table spoon, fill in each bell pepper, place in a baking dish with open side facing up.
- Cook until peppers are tender about 30 minutes- they should not get wrinkly or mush over.
I served with a simple salad - romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and strawberry / walnut dressing.
let me know what you think!!
