How to Make Mediterranean Stuffed Bell Peppers
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Prep the Peppers: Trim tops and remove seeds, brush each with olive oil, then nestle them upright in a lightly oiled baking dish.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: In a warm skillet over medium heat, cook onion and garlic until translucent (about 4 minutes).
  4. Build the Filling: Add cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, and cooked quinoa or rice, stirring until colors blend and mixture is saucy.
  5. Mix in Cheese & Herbs: Remove from heat, fold in feta and parsley until evenly distributed.
  6. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the filling into each pepper cavity, pressing gently to pack.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes until skins wrinkle and filling is hot.
  8. Rest & Garnish: Let rest 5 minutes, then top with basil and a squeeze of lemon.
