Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa I use organic red and white mixed together for contrast

4 Fresh organic Bell Peppers

3 Tablespoons olive oil for frying

1 Tablespoon of sweet butter

4 Cloves Garlic

1 Tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning

1 Medium onion chopped

1/3 Cup chopped leeks, white part only

3/4 lb Scallops

2 Tablespoons toasted and finely chopped walnuts

2 Tablespoons fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley chopped

1/2 Cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus some for topping of rice after stuffing peppers.

Directions

Make the Quenoa by package directions using vegetable stock set aside. Prepare the peppers by removing the stem with a pairing knife set aside. Heat the olive oil and butter on medium high until it starts to shimmer and add the scallops.

Sear the scallops until browned and sprinkle with lemon pepper and grate the nutmeg over the scallops remove and set aside.

Add the vegetables and sauté until tender.

Combine the scallops with the Quenoa and the cheese,2 Tablespoons toasted and finely chopped walnuts and stuff into the peppers.

Place the peppers in a baking dish with one inch of water or broth.

Bake in a 350degree oven for 30 minutes until rice forms a crust.

Hey Michael, Nice sounding combo. I only discovered quinoa about a year ago and have loved it ever since. It would go perfectly with the scallops... Nice One ...... Jim

This looks wonderful! I love the fact that you added walnuts to it - it should give such a nice crunch.
