Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish. 3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, chickpeas, red onion, minced garlic, parsley, basil, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. 4. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture and toss to coat evenly. 5. Spoon the quinoa mixture into each bell pepper, packing it in tightly. Overfill slightly for a hearty serving. 6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. 7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly browned on top. 8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired. These Mediterranean Stuffed Bell Peppers are a complete meal on their own but can also be paired with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a more substantial feast. Enjoy the delightful flavors and wholesome ingredients in every bite!
