INGREDIENTS
1 large red bell pepper (186g)
3 ounces chorizo sausage (85g)
1/3 cup cooked quinoa (60g)
1/2 cup cooked black beans (130g)
1/4 cup diced onion (40g)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes (40g)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside the pepper top if desired for presentation.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it up into small pieces until it begins to crisp and release oil.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, and diced tomatoes along with the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the flavors to meld for 3-4 minutes.
Fill the hollowed bell pepper with the chorizo-quinoa mixture, pressing lightly to pack the filling.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pepper is tender.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the top. Serve warm.
