Ingredients
  

  • 4 red peppers
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g quinoa uncooked
  • 50 g pumpkin seeds
  • 2 x 100g drum Capricorn Goats Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160 fan.

  • Place the baking tray and peppers in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions – usually, in a large pan of boiling for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, drain and then stir through the pumpkin seeds.
  • Take the peppers out of the oven and carefully pour any juice and oil inside the peppers onto the quinoi.
  • Using a tablespoon, carefully fill the pepper halves with quinoi.
  • Slice the Capricorn Goats Cheese into four discs and place one disc over each of the filled pepper halves.
  • Put the stuffed peppers and goats cheese back into the oven and bake again for 10 minutes, or until the goat’s cheese is bubbling and melted. Serve immediately with a side salad.
