You will absolutely love this dinner. It's great to make for a group or just as a delicious dinner! Its all veggies with quinoa! Quinoa ["KEEN-Wah"] is an ancient grain filled with nutrients, essential amino acids and protein. It is one of nature's incredibly formulated, complete proteins!
You can basically use whatever veggies you want to in this recipe and whatever flavors! You could do more of an indian curry flavor, an asian infused teriyaki flavor or a garlic, onion and lemon flavor. For this one, I used Coconut Aminos (instead do soy sauce) with some spices! (omit corn for 30 day detox program)

What you I used:
- 3 peppers (Colour of your choice and number of how many people to serve)
- 1 cup of quinoa (Soaked overnight)
- 2 cups of water
- 4 tbsp coconut Aminos
- 3 tsp coconut oil
- basil (fresh is better, a few chopped leaves)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 onion (chopped small)
- Mushrooms (Sliced)
- 2 carrots (thinly sliced)
- 2 celery sticks (Thinly sliced)
- 1 broccoli head (chopped small)
- 1/4 cup green peas
- 2 kale leaves (chopped small)
- 1 small tomato (chopped small)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- cracked pepper
- sprinkle cayenne
- 2 tsp lemon juice
In a large pan (high sides) melt coconut oil on medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and onion. Put quinoa is water and boil with a lid. Once the water is boiling, put hear to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Once onions are clear, add carrots, celery, broccoli, peas, kale and basil. Let that cook for a few minutes, stirring consistently. Add lemon juice, coconut amigos, tomato, salt, pepper and cayenne. Once everything is getting softer, you can reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer.
Pre heat the over to 350 and get a pan or dish ready to hold the peppers in the oven. Cut a circular hole around the top of the pepper and cut out any pieces on the inside so you have a nice hollow bowl. Once the quinoa is done and mixture is done, add the quinoa into the veggies! Mix it around so that the flavors are all mixed together. You can taste test and add what you need! With a spoon, take the mixture and start scooping it into the peppers. Be sure to press it down so that you can fit as much as you can in! Pop them in the oven for about 30-45 minutes. The top of the quinoa will be a bit browned and the peppers will be wrinkled and softer. ENJOY!

I had a little extra guacamole so I added it on top! For a cheese top you can add Nutritional Yeast before putting them in the oven! Great alternative for vegans!
