Preparation Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil.
- Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa and tomato sauce.
- Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Place the halved bell peppers in a baking dish, cut side up.
- Spoon the quinoa mixture into each pepper half, packing it down slightly.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- If using cheese, remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of each stuffed pepper, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
