Ingredients
Step 1
Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and spices to the skillet, stir and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, and cook an additional 3-5 minutes until most of the liquid from the diced tomatoes is cooked off.
Step 3
Place the white beans, ¾ of the minced parsley, olives, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the mixture from the skillet along with the cooked quinoa and mix well until fully combined. Season with additional salt & pepper to taste.
Step 4
Spoon the mixture into the halved peppers and place them in a baking dish. They might fit in one large dish or you may need 2 to fit them all. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25-35 minutes depending on how crisp you like the peppers. Remove from the oven, top with chopped walnuts, and the reserved minced parsley.
