Recipe with ingredients from our Market
This recipe uses several ingredients you can buy at our Market. It is from the Mayo Clinic Newsletter. Dietitian’s tip: Stuffed peppers are often made with ground meat. This meatless version is satisfying, thanks to a hearty mix of quinoa, walnuts, tomatoes and zucchini. Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers, cut in half
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped zucchini
- 6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese
Directions
Heat the oven to 350 F. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Set aside. Heat a large saute pan to medium-high heat. Add oil, zucchini, tomatoes, onion, celery, walnuts, garlic and thyme. Reduce heat to medium after 2 minutes. Once vegetables are tender, add cooked quinoa, salt, pepper and cheese. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet. Place 1/2 cup of the quinoa and vegetable mixture into each pepper half. Cover with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes until peppers are cooked to desired doneness.
