Talimatlar
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Rinse the quinoa and lentils. In a pot, combine them with 350ml of water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender and water is absorbed.
- 2.While the grains cook, slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
- 3.In a skillet, heat 15ml of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 5 minutes until soft, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4.In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and lentils, the sautéed onion and garlic, chopped walnuts, dried apricots, and fresh parsley. Stir in the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- 5.Spoon the filling mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves. Pour a small amount of water (about 50ml) into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam.
- 6.Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the top is lightly golden. Serve warm.
