SERVES 2
READY IN 35 MINUTES
These veggie quinoa stuffed peppers are packed with healthy grains and proteins to give you that tasty, filling and balanced meal. I have added broccoli and fresh homemade pesto to make it a super green recipe. I find this is a great dish to use any leftover ingredients you have in your fridge to add in any extra nutritional value.
