INGREDIENTS
1 large red bell pepper (150g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1/2 cup black beans (120g)
200g extra firm tofu
1/4 cup diced Roma tomatoes (40g)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the top off the red bell pepper, remove seeds and membranes, and set aside.
Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture and crumble it into small pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the crumbled tofu with a pinch of salt, ground cumin, and smoked paprika until it is slightly golden.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed tofu, cooked quinoa, black beans, and diced Roma tomatoes. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle lemon zest. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
Stuff the cleaned bell pepper with the quinoa mixture, packing it firmly.
Place the stuffed bell pepper in a baking dish and cover loosely with foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pepper is tender.
Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow the top to lightly brown. Serve warm and enjoy your zesty, nutritious meal.
