Talimatlar
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Cook the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside.
- 2.Slice the tops off the bell peppers and carefully remove the seeds and white membranes. Arrange the peppers upright in a baking dish.
- 3.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- 4.Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until it's fully browned, then drain any excess fat.
- 5.Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, dried oregano, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- 6.Remove the skillet from the heat. Fold in the cooked quinoa and half of the crumbled feta cheese.
- 7.Carefully spoon the lamb and quinoa mixture evenly into each hollowed-out bell pepper.
- 8.Top the stuffed peppers with the remaining feta cheese.
- 9.Pour about 120ml of water into the bottom of the baking dish (this helps steam the peppers). Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot.
