Wow what a week! Arizona was just amazing, it was exactly what my husband and I needed. We want to move there now!! We ate at some amazing restaurants, hiked up a mountain, experienced the craziest hole in a PGA golf tournament, fed a giraffe and had a much needed vacation. I will share some photos tomorrow, but as this is Tuesday and that means Vegan Tuesday let’s share a recipe! This took a few tries to get it just right and according to the hubby… I did it!
Ingredients: Yields 4-5 servings
- 2tbsp EVOO
- 1 box(225g) of Quinoa
- 2 cups of vegetable bouillon(low sodium)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 15oz can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 28oz can of diced tomatoes, drained and liquid reserved.
- 1/2 cup of frozen corn, drained
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp cilantro, diced
- 4-5 red & orange bell peppers, top cut off and seeds removed
- 4-5 tbsp daiya cheese
- salt & pepper
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F Boil two cups of water, whisk in vegetable bouillon cube, once back to a boil, add quinoa and cook as per directions on box. Place to the side. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion & garlic and saute till onions starting turning translucent. Add all spices and continue to saute for 1 minute. Stir in drained tomatoes. Cook 5 min. Stir in black beans & corn. Bring to a slight boil. Add cilantro and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in cooked quinoa. Season with salt & pepper.
Pour reserved tomato juice in the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each bell pepper till a little more than 3/4 full. Cover with foil and cook for 30min. Remove from oven and add daiya cheese to the top, about 1tbsp each. Bake for another 10-15min uncovered, or until the tops are slightly browned. Remove from heat and let stand for 5min before serving.
I make a light leafy salad with a oil & vinegar dressing for the side. These peppers are quite filling!
A little white wine pairs just lovely with this!
Love that daiya cheese!
