Quinoa Stuffed Poblanos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of a casserole dish.
• In a large pan heat oil.
• Saute celery,shallots, mushrooms, garlic for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and dried spices cook 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except for the shredded cheese and chili`s. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your likings.
• Fill chili`s distributing the filling among the halves and place cut side up in the prepared casserole.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Tomato sauce:.
• Put diced tomatoes, garlic, and chipotle peppers into a food processor or blender and blend until relatively smooth. Pour sauce into a medium saucepan, add sugar, and bring to bubbling and then simmer on medium-low while you prepare the rest of the recipe (about 15-20 minutes). Stir occasionally.
• Filling:.
• Brown chorizo sausage in a large saute pan or skillet with 1 t chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Remove and set aside.
• Pour olive oil into the same pan over medium-high heat and add onion/bell pepper. Saute about 5 minutes, until soft. Add diced tomato and cook for about 2-3 more minutes. Stir in quinoa, chorizo, tomato and remaining teaspoon of chili powder . Mix well.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread half of the tomato sauce in a large casserole dish. Stuff the peppers with the chorizo/quinoa mixture and arrange them in the casserole dish. Ladle the remaining sauce over the peppers and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake another 5-10 minutes.
• Garnish with sour cream, diced avocado, and serve with refried black beans and tortilla chips or tortillas.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a reusable baking mat or parchment paper.
• Arrange poblanos on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins begin to turn brown and pull away from the flesh.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion, season with salt, and sauté for 3 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the cumin, coriander, and cayenne and stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.
• Add the quinoa, beans, corn, tomato sauce, and lime juice and season with salt. Stir to combine, then cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
• Transfer the roasted poblanos to a bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Steam for 15 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
• Peel the skins off the poblanos. Leaving the stem intact, cut a slit lengthwise down each pepper to form a pouch. With a small spoon, carefully remove the seeds. The poblano flesh will be delicate-it's fine if it tears a bit.
• Lay the peeled poblanos side by side in a greased 9-x13-inch (22 cm x 33 cm) baking dish. Stuff each pepper with about ½ cup of the filling. Top each pepper with 2 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake the stuffed peppers for 15-20 minutes, until the filling is completely warmed through and the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
• Serve the peppers garnished with cilantro leaves and serve with avocado slices and lime wedges.
• Enjoy!
