Be Happy, Be Healthy... (it all starts from inside & out)
Let go of toxic people in your life
Let go of the need to be right all the time, every time...
Lately been seeing many stuffed peppers recipes online; my family loves beans and I am happy to ensure that it's low fat, high protein and filling. Kinda just went with the flow and blended up this recipe, interesting enough; it was a worth sharing :)
Ingredients (main ones)
Small sweet peppers - about 20
Black beans - 1 cup
Quinoa - 1 cup
Cheese - any type - 1/2 or 1/4 cup
Garlic cloves - 3 or 4
Wash well & Soak one cup black bean overnight.
Pressure cook next day for 2 or 3 whistles (with salt, garlic cloves, cumin & turmeric powder - all spices to taste)
Once done drain water (you can save this for any dish for future) mush well & set aside.
Cook one cup quinoa with little salt (in rice cooker or your usual method)
Cut off head portion & Slit peppers enough to open
Clean insides
Mix the mushed beans & quinoa, cheese, black pepper (to taste), salt (if more is needed)
Stuff spoonfuls into peppers
Preheat oven to 325 degrees, roast or bake for 20 mins
We ate it hot & packed leftovers for lunch - either way, it was great. Didn't get soggy or lose its texture - tada
Left over bean mix can become sandwich fillers or quesadilla stuffing
