Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in upper third.
- Slice a thin layer from the base of each pepper so it sits upright. Slice off tops, remove ribs and seeds. Discard stems, chop tops.

- Add onion, garlic, coriander and chopped pepper tops. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add quinoa and cook 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until water has been absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 11 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and stir in parsley, walnuts and 3/4 cup of provolone. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stuff peppers with quinoa mixture. Place in 2 quart baking dish.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.
