There\u2019s nothing better than getting your hands on local sweet bell peppers. Whenever I lay eyes on those plump red and yellow bell peppers at my farmers market, I can\u2019t imagine them being turned into anything else except for these healthy vegetarian stuffed peppers.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my market haul so I\u2019m armed and ready to make a batch of these beautiful stuffed peppers.\"Vegetarian<\/p>\n

My youngest (vegetarian) daughter is home visiting from her teaching job in London, England. She loves this vegetarian stuffed peppers recipe. It\u2019s an understatement when I say they are absolutely gorgeous and look so appealing when presented on a plate. It\u2019s like serving the colours of the rainbow and they are almost too pretty to eat. But we do eat them!<\/p>\n

My daughter also makes this recipe in her pint-sized kitchen in her London flat. They\u2019re a quick weeknight dinner and are sure to impress her flatmates. She appreciates how lucky she is to have a mom that develops such fabulous easy-to-prepare vegetarian recipes, and I appreciate a daughter who likes to cook and eat healthy!<\/p>\n

Tasty, delicious and colourful with a Mediterranean flair, everyone, even non-vegetarians, will enjoy these stuffed peppers. Stuffed with saut\u00e9ed onions, garlic, zucchini, tomatoes, quinoa, lentils and cheese then topped with even more cheese just before baking. A perfect nutritious protein-rich balanced meal.<\/p>\n

You can easily make these peppers in advance. After assembling the peppers in the baking dish, refrigerate and bake them later in the day or the next day when needed. Just add 10 minutes more to the baking time if making in advance. What a time-saver!<\/p>\n

\"Quinoa<\/p>\n

To round off this meal, and in keeping with the Mediterranean theme, serve the stuffed peppers with a great big bowl of my Greek Salad<\/a>. <\/p>\n
