2 of 6 ingredients can go straight into the online basket in one action.
Anything sold by weight or volume is added as one pack, because this page does not know the pack size. Herbs counted in leaves or sprigs are one jar too: we list them dried, by the jar, not by the leaf. Adjust the quantities in the basket.
The basket opens in the online shop, which checks stock again and tells you what it could not add. Nothing is ordered until you check out there.
Preparation
Step by step, from pantry to plate.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then cook it in a pot with 240 ml water until the grains are tender and the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and white ribs.
Heat the black beans, corn, tomato sauce, and cumin in a pan over medium heat until warm, then stir in the cooked quinoa and season with salt and pepper.
Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping it moist but not soupy.
Spoon the quinoa mixture into the bell pepper halves and arrange them in a baking dish.
Add a small splash of water to the dish, cover with foil, and bake at 190 C until the peppers are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake a few minutes more if you want the tops a little drier before serving.
Good to know
If the peppers are very thick, blanch them for 2 minutes in boiling water first so they bake evenly.
How these figures were worked out
Calculated from standard food composition tables for the raw ingredients as listed, before cooking. They are estimates of a recipe, not laboratory measurements of a finished dish.
Every figure here is for one serving at the quantities as written. The servings control changes the shopping quantities and leaves these figures alone.
These recipes are cooked in home kitchens, where the same boards, pans and utensils handle other foods. We cannot tell you what the dish you cook will contain. Read the label on every product you buy: the ingredient and allergen information on the pack is the authority, not this page.
No qualified reviewer has signed off these figures, so this page shows no vegan, gluten free or other dietary label. When one has, the labels return with their basis stated.
