Sample Recipe: Quinoa-Stuffed Bell Peppers

Ingredients:

4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1 cup chopped spinach or kale
1/2 cup diced red onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse them thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.

Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, chopped spinach or kale, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let it cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Stir in the cooked quinoa and mix until everything is evenly combined. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa and vegetable mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling.

Place the stuffed bell peppers in the greased baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to lightly brown the tops.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot.
