No time to cook every day? Not in the mood for unhealthy or expensive ready-made meals? Then you have to "cook smartly": when you have more time (for example in the weekend) prepare tasty "healthy food" that you only have to heat up and / or finish during busier times (during the week for example). Food prepping at its best!
Ingredients for 4 people
4 pointed peppers
200 g low fat bacon
2 shallots
olive oil
turmeric
(smoked) paprika powder
200 g quinoa
120 g of feta
pepper
In advance (at the weekend)
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Make sure that the pepper halves can remain in the baking dish.
- Bake the bacon cubes until crispy in a frying pan.
- Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and fry the finely chopped shallot. Season with a pinch of turmeric, paprika and pepper.
- Rinse the quinoa and cook according to the instructions on the package.
- Meanwhile, cut the feta into small cubes.
- Mix the quinoa and the feta cheese with the bacon and the shallot.
- Cover a baking dish with olive oil, put the pepper halves in it and let them lean against each other. Fill the peppers with the quinoa mixture. Let them cool and put them covered in the fridge.
Before you sit at the table (In the week)
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and put the peppers in the oven for 20 minutes. Also switch on the oven grill for the last 5 minutes, but keep an eye on the peppers so that they do not burn.
- Serve with a mixed vegetable salad.
