  1. Preheat oven at 200 degrees.

  3. In an oven dish with lid, put quinoa, water (or stock) and salt. Put the lid on.
  4. Bake both dishes for half an hour. (Don't turn the oven off)
  5. In an oiled baking dish, transfer the capsicum.
  6. In a bowl mix together quinoa, roasted zucchini and sweet potatoes, and the pine nuts.
  7. Fill each half capsicum with the mix and bake for half an hour.

  • Ha! Ha! It is! It is! It reminds me of funny sentence I saw in Internet time ago. Let’s see if I can find it again.
    Here it is:
    “Never eat ingredients you can’t pronounce. Except quinoa. You should eat quinoa. ” :-)

  • i think that this recipe is something that my hubby would love. he loves stuffed capsicums but i haven’t used quinoa for stuffing before. it seems like a really clever idea though! very healthy alternative to mince and rice, which we usually use.


    • I’m glad you like it. If you are not sure your husband will like the quinoa, you could make a mix of quinoa and rice for example.
