Stuffed quinoa peppers
Serves 4
Tip: Stuffed peppers are often made with ground meat. This meatless version is just as satisfying, thanks to a hearty mix of quinoa, walnuts, tomatoes and zucchini.

Add 1 cup chopped zucchini.
Add 6 Roma tomatoes.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion.
Add 1 stalk celery.
Add 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts.
Add 3 garlic cloves.
Add 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme.
Cook until tender.
Add 4 cups cooked quinoa.
Add 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
Add 1 teaspoon salt.
Add 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
Place 1/2 cup quinoa mixture into each pepper half.
Cover with foil.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes.
