Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
-
1 ⅓ cups water
-
⅔ cup quinoa
-
1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
-
1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (such as Del Monte® Stewed Tomatoes with Onions, Celery, and Green Peppers)
-
¼ cup walnut pieces
-
½ cup golden raisins
-
1 bunch green onions, sliced, white parts and tops separated
-
½ lemon, juiced
-
½ teaspoon chili powder
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon dried mint leaves
-
1 pinch ground cinnamon
-
2 large red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds and membrane removed
-
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
-
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Mix garbanzo beans, stewed tomatoes, walnuts, raisins, white parts of green onions, lemon juice, chili powder, garlic powder, mint, and cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in cooked quinoa.
-
Arrange red bell pepper halves, hollow-side facing upwards, in the prepared baking sheet. Spoon quinoa mixture into each red bell pepper half.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until bell peppers are tender, about 30 minutes. Spoon a few teaspoons of drippings from the bottom of the baking dish over each stuffed pepper; top each with 1 tablespoon goat cheese and green parts of green onions.
