Instructions

1. 1. Cut the tops off 4 large green bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
2. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peppers and boil them, covered, for 10 minutes, turning once, until slightly tender but firm enough to hold their shape. Drain and set aside.

4. 4. Stuff each bell pepper with the spiced quinoa mixture, pressing gently to fill them completely.
5. 5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.
6. 6. Bake the peppers in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the tops are slightly golden and the peppers are tender.
7. 7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as is or with a side of yogurt for added flavor.
