I might be late to the movement, but I love Quinoa!
Quinoa is absolutely delicious with everything. The first time I made it, I used water, and then I saw a recipe that changed my life. I quickly switched from water to chicken broth, which changed my mindset about Quinoa.
But let me be completely honest and tell you that I don’t read directions well, and because of that, I make foolish mistakes. For example, I didn’t know I was supposed to rinse the Quinoa a few times before cooking. I ran water over it and threw it in the pot. The water was grimy and disgusting, so I had to throw it out and start over again.
Don’t even get me started on how I wasn’t prepared for how messy it can be while rinsing. The bottom line here is, rinse the Quinoa!
Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 5 Red Peppers
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 Can of Black Beans
- 1 Large Tomato
- 1 tbsp of Oregano
- 1 tsp of Black Pepper
- 1 tsp of Salt
- 6 ounces of Fresh Mozzarella (already sliced if you like)
- 6 tsp of olive oil
- Set oven to 375 degrees and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Turn the oven on broil and cook for additional 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the Quinoa with chicken broth and let that thicken.
- Add tomato, black beans, and seasonings.
- Let simmerSlice off the tops of each red pepper and rinse inside and out.
- Stuff the quinoa mixture inside, place mozzarella on top and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Set oven to 375 degrees and cook for 10-15 minutes. Turn the oven on broil and cook for additional 3-4 minutes.
Serve while nice and warm!

I’m excited for you to try it!

So easy and looks delicious. I have never cooked quinoa, do you think brown rice would work? Maybe I will just try cooking quinoa. Thanks for sharing .💕

Those look delicious! I just finished a great dinner with keto cupcakes (carrot) but this looks good!
Thank you!!!! Your cupcakes sound deliious as well!
i had to google quinoa to find out what you were talking about!. it’s just not a thing here in New Zealand
Honestly rice is just as good! 😍
Delicious, although I will say the amount of time suggested for cooking kept the pepper too firm for my tastes. Guess I am just used to a slow cooked version. I used a rosemary & lemon seasoned Quinoa/brown rice combo, additionally seasoned with a pinch of salt & pepper and Za’atar as opposed to oregano, I also used a can of diced tomatoes as opposed to a tomato. So, slightly altered but delicious all the same.
Oh wow your way sound amazing!!!! Yes I like it a little more firm and I should’ve stated that. But softer is great too. 💜💜💜 So honored that you made this!
