How to make Quinoa Stuffed Peppers:

1. To start making the recipe for red peppers stuffed with quinoa, the first step is to prepare all the ingredients.
2. This is a great option for people who don’t eat meat.
3. With the help of a strainer, add the quinoa and wash it until the water stops running white.
4. Take the quinoa to a pot to cook it. This product is cooked in the same way as rice, so for one cup of quinoa we will add two of water.
5. Bring the pot to medium heat with a little salt and, once the water evaporates, lower the heat and cover it.
6. Let the quinoa keep on the fire for approximately 5 minutes and remove it. As I said before, the cooking process for quinoa is the same as for rice.
7. While the quinoa is cooking, you can take the opportunity to wash and cut the white onion into as small squares as possible.
8.  Then, it should be taken to a pan with a little olive oil and fry. Add a little garlic paste to taste or, failing that, a finely minced clove of garlic.
9. Wash the red peppers and remove the tip from each one.
10.  Then, cut them into three pieces and remove the white vein and the stuffing it contains.
11. Add the sweet corn to the pan where you have the onion and mix very well.
12. Add the quinoa, salt, pepper and, if desired, garlic to taste to give the red pepper filling a bit of flavor. Put out the fire.
13. Fill each of the peppers, with the help of a spoon.
14. Serve the quinoa-stuffed red peppers; decorate them with chive or ciboulette tips on top of each of the peppers.
