- What up, guys?
Today on Bachelor on a Budget,
we are making quinoa stuffed pepepers.
So we are gonna fill these guys
with quinoa and lots of delicious flavors,
and some beans and some onions.
And we're gonna roast these.
And it's gonna be super delicious.
We're gonna make about four servings here,
so four peppers cut in half.
I left the little tail on a cup of these
just to make it really
pretty for you guys.
I've actually done a
similar recipe to this
before, except, uh, we used ground beef,
and, uh, I had made these into
little Jack-O-Lanterns, uh, for
Halloween a couple years ago.
But now that I'm on a mostly plant-based
diet, we're makin' these plant-based.
So let's get into it.
Let's preheat the oven.
400 degrees.
We're gonna add one cup of quinoa,
and one cup of water./
You can also use vegetable stock here,
but I'm going in with a bit of salt.
And we're gonna bring that to a boil.
Then we'll lower it to a simmer
once it gets a boil.
While those things are heating up,
I've cut these in half.
We're just gonna add some olive oil
to these, and, uh, salt them a bit, and
we're gonna get these in the oven early.
I'm just gonna get a tiny bit of
olive oil, maybe a bit more than tiny.
Then you can just rub it all toether.
Yeah.
Rub it together.
With clean hands, of course.
Don't scare your guests.
And you gotta put a teaspoon of salt.
That has already reached a boil,
so we can lower that heat.
Let's start precooking these peppers.
It's not even quite 400, but, uh,
those are gonna take the longest.
We'll probably have those peppers
in there for about 20 minutes,
or just until our quinoa mixture is done.
Then we're gonna take 'em out and
stuff our peppers!
So, even if your oven's not at 400,
you can let it overcook a bit more,
or undercook, the peppers are flexible,
like, even if you go 10 minutes over,
10 minutes under, it's
still gonna be delicious.
Try not to complicate
things too much here.
Keep it simple, stupid.
Not you, not you.
Make sure you stir your quinoa.
Quinoa's done.
I got a large pan, we'll put it on
medium high heat.
Got a couple tablespoons of olive oil,
and our onions!
Uh, that's just about one and a half cups
of onion, it was one medium one.
Those are just startin' to brown,
so we got our garlic.
I have one drained can of black beans.
You could also use kidney beans or mixed.
Remember, kids, cans of beans can cut ya.
We are adding one cup of frozen corn.
And we'll mix that all together.
I got a tablespoon of chili powder,
about a teaspoon of
garlic powder, teaspoon of
cumin, and about a tablespoon of paprika.
I'll do about a teaspoon
of salt, about to taste.
Mix that all around.
And let's add that quinoa.
And give that a good mix.
You wanna give this a taste, to see
if it needs anything.
Could use a bit more salt and a bit
more chili powder.
So this is optional,
depending on how saucy
you like it, but you can add some salsa.
It adds some moisture to that.
That's about half a cup there.
I like to do that with my tacos too,
and any of these Tex-Mex dishes.
And that's done.
Think it's time we take out our peppers.
Look at the color on these things!
They actually have some water in here,
but that'll be all right.
Let's just dump in some of this.
It's all right if you missed.
And you will likely have extra filling,
if, uh, you made as much as I did and
used tiny peppers like these.
Let's get this back in the oven
for about 15 minutes.
I've already had mine in for quite a bit.
Let's get this outta there!
Oh yeah, those are perfect.
Some optional nutritional yeast,
giving it some nice vegan cheesy flavor.
We'll garnish with a bit of avocado
and some red onions,
these are also optional,
to add a nice little crisp freshness.
Fresh coriander, otherwise
known as cilantro,
which I usually call it.
Also optional, but man, these three
toppings make a world of difference.
Also optional, hot sauce.
And I think we're done!
Voila!
Look at these bad boys!
How good do these look?
I'll get a plate.
That is solid.
That avocado is a must.
And I didn't have it, but if you have
a bit of lime juice, oh, that'll
go so nice on this.
I had to add some more avocados.
Oh, please feel free to
use a fork and knife.
And depending on your pepper size,
you'll probably have a fair bit
of, uh, leftover of the mixture, so
you can either make a little less quinoa,
or fry it up with some more veggies
for some breakfast, or make a taco salad
out of it, it's quite versatile.
You could put it in a burrito.
Well, I hope you like this one,
