INGREDIENTS
1 medium red bell pepper
1 cup cooked lentils
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
2 cups raw spinach
2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If desired, lightly brush the inside with olive oil.
In a medium pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and dried oregano, and cook for another minute.
Stir in the tomato paste, then add the cooked lentils and quinoa, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the raw spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill the hollowed bell pepper with the lentil quinoa mixture, pressing gently to pack the filling.
Place the stuffed bell pepper on a baking dish and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pepper is tender and edges are slightly charred.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
