Greek Stuffed Peppers with Feta Flavorful Delight
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Start by preparing the bell peppers: cut the tops off and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, chopped olives, and fresh dill.
- Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Spoon the quinoa mixture into each bell pepper, packing it tightly. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish.
- Add a splash of water to the bottom of the dish for moisture, then cover it with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 5-10 minutes of baking to allow the tops to slightly brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
