Stuffed Peppers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until translucent. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in cooked quinoa, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Peppers

    Carefully stuff each piquillo pepper with the quinoa mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are filled.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Plate

    On a serving platter, arrange the stuffed peppers. Garnish with sliced serrano ham and burrata cheese. Serve with crostini on the side.

  5. 5

    Serve with Pisto Manchego

    To complete the dish, serve with a side of pisto manchego, a Spanish ratatouille made of sautéed vegetables.
