Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 500g (approximately 1.1 lbs) lean ground beef
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and clear out the seeds and membranes.
  3. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain the excess fat.
  4. Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stuff each pepper with the beef and quinoa mixture, pressing it down so it holds.
  6. Stand the peppers up in a baking dish and cover loosely with foil.
  7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
  8. Finish with fresh parsley before serving.
