Preparation

1. Place quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse with water.

7. Heat Dutch oven over medium high heat and add olive oil. When oil is hot add diced onions and bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened about 5-8 minutes.

8. Stir in garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

11. Stir in canned tomatoes and remove from heat.

12. Add meat mixture to the quinoa mixture and mix completely.

13. Quickly rinse and wipe down Dutch oven.

14. In chimney starter, light up 30 charcoal briquettes.

15. Place hollowed out peppers, cut side up, inside Dutch oven and fill up each pepper with meat mixture.
