Method

6 steps Oven 425°F 15 min prep · 47 min cook

Cook

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring Quinoa and Water to a boil in a small saucepan, then cover and simmer over low heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Take off the heat.
Step 2. Meanwhile, arrange Bell Pepper cut-side up in a baking dish. Bake until starting to soften, about 15 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile, heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Garlic, Oregano, Canned Tomatoes, Lentils, Salt, and Black Pepper. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes thicken and the lentils are hot, about 7 minutes.
Step 5. Fluff the cooked quinoa and stir it into the lentil mixture with half the Feta. Spoon the filling into the peppers, mounding it as needed, and scatter the rest of the Feta over the top.
Step 6. Bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot, about 20 minutes. Serve the pepper halves from the baking dish.
