“Quinoa Adds Protein Punch to This Delish Dish”

One of the best things about this recipe is how it incorporates quinoa, a superfood that’s high in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Here’s how to make the perfect quinoa for your stuffed peppers:

Step 1: Rinse and Drain

Measure out 1 cup of quinoa and rinse it thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer. This will remove any bitterness and residue.

Step 2: Boil and Simmer

In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water or broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3: Fluff and Cool

Remove the quinoa from the heat, fluff it with a fork, and let it cool completely before using in your stuffed peppers.
