The stuffed pepper is a classic dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. The earliest known recipes for stuffed peppers date back to the Middle Ages, and the dish has been popular in many cultures around the world ever since. Stuffed peppers are typically made with ground beef or pork, but this vegan version is just as delicious and satisfying. The quinoa mixture is packed with protein and fiber, and the vegetables add a variety of flavors and textures. The peppers are roasted in the oven until they are tender and slightly charred, and the quinoa is cooked through. Serve the peppers warm, drizzled with olive oil if desired.
