Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Spoon the mushroom and spinach mixture into the prepared bell peppers, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the stuffed peppers, and return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
