We've discovered a recipe for Quinoa Stuffed Peppers from the back of the box (Ancient Harvest brand), and we love it better than any recipe with meat. It has a wonderful flavor. I haven't put this recipe into mfp, first because we can't seem to figure out how to access them in the "recipe data base".

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
4 large green peppers (or 6 medium)
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, coarsely diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 (12 ounce) jar mexican salsa
2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Cook quinoa as per package directions. Steam peppers until soft but not limp.

In a large skillet, saute the onion and mushrooms in butter. Add the diced tomatos (reserving the juice). Add the crushed garlic and salsa. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the sherry (optional) nd simmer 10 more minutes. Fold in quinoa.

Place peppers in baking dish and fill with quinoa mixture (half the mixture will be used up).

Thin remainder with reserved juice and pour around peppers.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over peppers and bake in 325 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
