Cedar's Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Hey everyone! Today, we're making Cedar's Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers. This recipe holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of Maya, an incredible cook who used to make these for us. I've taken inspiration from her and put my own spin on these flavorful peppers.
To make my version of stuffed peppers, I've replaced the meat with quinoa, ensuring it’s just as delicious and satisfying. The lentil salad brings a fresh and hearty flavor to these stuffed peppers. Lentils are an excellent source of fiber and protein, and the fact that they're already cooked in our salad saves you a lot of time in the kitchen.
As with all recipes in this series, my goal is to introduce you to delicious and healthy food options. Feel free to experiment with your own spices and flavors, such as basil and oregano, to make this recipe truly your own.
Once the stuffed peppers are out of the oven, your kitchen will be filled with an incredible aroma. Before taking a bite, we'll top them with some fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
These stuffed peppers are perfect for any day of the week. They're sure to be a hit with everyone, and if you're lucky enough to have leftovers, they make a fantastic lunch option.
