A colourful and delicious recipe of stuffed sweet bell peppers with black quinoa, ricotta, tomatoes, golden raisins, sunflower seeds and cumin. The protein-rich quinoa makes a nice change from rice or meat-filled peppers and is a a wonderful option for those who can't eat gluten. It is perfect for an easy weeknight dinner and the leftover can be easily reheated in the microwave.
Black Quinoa stuffed Bell Peppers
adapted from taste
|
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Place the black quinoa in a medium saucepan with water, bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until just tender. Remove from heat, set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, spray with oil. Cook the chopped onion, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cumin, cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Place onion mixture, black quinoa, golden raisins, sunflower seeds, parsley, tomato and ricotta in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the bell pepper halves with the quinoa mixture and place on a baking tray, cover tray with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil, bake for a further 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and stuffing is golden.

Wow, Angie this looks amazing! What a great take on traditional stuffed peppers!
I love stuffed peppers but your version is so healthy with the quinoa, fresh ricotta, nuts and fresh tomatoes. I will definitely be trying your version next time I make them.

My son hates bell peppers, but I would love to try one of these. looks so colorful.
This is my kind of recipe, Angie! It looks and sounds delicious.
It looks delicious Angie. Toooo yummy. Irresistible :)
Another grain I am totally unfamiliar with! I have red quinoa but I've never seen black. I just bought some beautiful Cubanelle peppers so this might be the perfect stuffing for them. I may even make a rich tomato sauce to have with them.
So many bright colors. this concept recipe always reminds me of my mom's rice and meat stuffed peppers. Was never a fan so loving an updated version with quinoa and ricotta.
Angie, you did it again! Your stuffed peppers sound delicious and we'd love them, for sure. Thanks for the recipe!
super beaux et bons et joliment présenté bravo
