Harissa Chickpea Stuffed Peppers

Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for harissa chickpea stuffed peppers. The bold flavors of harissa paired with the earthiness of chickpeas make this dish a perfect balance of spicy and savory. It’s a great way to add some excitement to your weeknight meals or impress guests at a dinner party.

Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers
• 1 can (400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup (120g) cooked quinoa
• 3 tbsp harissa paste
• 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup (60g) feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup (60g) chopped fresh cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• bowl
• oven
• baking dish

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. In a bowl, mix together the chickpeas, quinoa, harissa paste, vegetable broth, feta cheese, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.

Stuff each bell pepper with the chickpea mixture and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Once the peppers are cooked through, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. The harissa chickpea stuffed peppers are best enjoyed warm, topped with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, and has an approximate calorie count of 250.

Tip:

For an extra kick of flavor, drizzle some extra harissa paste over the stuffed peppers before serving for a spicy twist.
