Ingredients

4 Bell Peppers
1 cup Quinoa
2 cups Water
1 Onion
1 cup Mushrooms
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Paprika

Method

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), then cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes, placing them in a baking dish.
In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil, then add the quinoa and cook, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, about 1 minute, then add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 3-5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, then stir in the paprika and cook for an additional minute.
Stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa mixture, then cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, until the bell peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the bell peppers are lightly browned, then remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
