Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • ½ cup chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 10 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4-6 large green bell peppers
  • 2 cups quinoa
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven broiler on high.
  2. Cook quinoa according to package directions (about 15 minutes). Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Combine green onions, shallots, lime juice, goat cheese, and cilantro in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the goat cheese mixture to the quinoa and mix gently until all ingredients are combined.
  5. Cut the top off each bell pepper and remove the seeds. Divide the quinoa-goat cheese mixture evenly among the peppers. Depending on the size of your peppers, the mixture is enough to fill 4-6 peppers.
  6. Place peppers in a square baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Make sure they are packed in tightly to keep them upright while baking.
  7. Broil for 10 minutes or until the peppers are soft and blackened and the quinoa-goat cheese mixture is browned on top. Serve warm.
