Steps:
- Cook bell peppers in boiling water for 3-4 minutes to soften a little. (I did this because I was short on time and wanted to decrease baking time. You can of course, skip this and just stuff the raw peppers, then bake.).
- Cook Quinoa in chicken broth, NOT water!
- In a saucepan, sautee onions, garlic and chopped bell pepper tops.
- Add rest of ingredients and cook until warmed through.
- Fluff quinoa when it's done and add to saucepan with everything else.
- Stuff peppers with the mix.
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your peppers and how much they cooked when they were pre-boiled. They should take no more than 15 minutes for smaller peppers. If you stuffed the peppers raw, they will need to bake for 30-40 minutes. Put a few tablespoons of water in the bottom of the dish too.).
- NOTE: I wanted to add olives, but had none, so those would be good too. Some cheddar cheese would be great too.
