Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 ½ cup(s) water, salted if desired
  • 2 large bell peppers, red
  • ½ cup Brunch Paprika Pepper
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • ½ pack of sheep’s cheese or feta cheese
  • 1 garlic clove(s)
  • ¼ pack of cheese (gratin cheese)
  • salt and pepper
  • chili powder
  • Herbs of your choice
  • Fat for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Wash the quinoa in a sieve with very hot water to remove any bitterness. Then add it to boiling water (lightly salted if desired), simmer for 15-20 minutes, and then let it swell for another 5 minutes. In the meantime, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, feta cheese, chopped garlic, spices, and herbs of your choice and add to the cooled quinoa. Cut each pepper in half and fill each half with the quinoa and cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with gratin cheese and, if desired, a few chili flakes and bake in a lightly greased dish at 180°C until the peppers are lightly browned and the cheese is crispy. Serve with a light yogurt sauce made with salt, pepper, lemon, herbs, and a dash of olive oil.
