Mushroom Stuffed Bell Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
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 onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs until well combined.
- Divide the mushroom filling evenly among the bell peppers, pressing down gently to pack the filling in.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
