Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove its natural coating, which can be bitter. Cook it in a pot with double the amount of water until it becomes fluffy and all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the quinoa cooks, peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, to bring out their sweetness.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, ricotta cheese, and red beans. Add the sautéed onions and garlic. This mixture forms the hearty filling for the peppers.

Step 4

Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and membranes. Season the quinoa mixture with salt and pepper, then spoon it into each pepper half until well stuffed.

Step 5

Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.

Step 6

Chop the romaine lettuce and use it as a fresh, crispy bed to serve the hot stuffed peppers on. This adds a refreshing crunch and color contrast to your dish.
