Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic chopped coarsely, cloves
- 1/4 cup celery you can include leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup dill or 2 Tablespoons dried, fresh
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 4 peppers or 5-6 smaller peppers, stem and cores removed, large
- 16 ounces pasta sauce for serving (I buy a 24 oz jar but usually have leftovers)
Instructions
- Place the quinoa and water in a large saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender (or cook according to your package directions).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and celery until onions are translucent.
- Combine onion & celery mixture, cooked quinoa, chopped garlic, herbs and tomato paste.
- Core the peppers. If you want to retain the tops for show, carefully cut the seed cluster off.
- Stuff peppers and place in baking dish. If using the top, set that back on about 15 minutes before the peppers are done.
- Cover and bake until peppers are tender and filling is heated through, about 45-60 minutes. Warm the pasta sauce for topping the peppers and serve on the side.
Notes
- If you want to add meat, reduce the amount of quinoa, and substitute some browned and drained ground meat (of your choice). Or serve with a sauce that contains meat.
