**Greek Style Spinach And Feta Stuffed Peppers**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 large bell peppers, any color
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– Lemon wedges for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Begin by preparing the bell peppers. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes.
5. Stir in the cooked quinoa, dried oregano, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
7. Carefully spoon the spinach and feta mixture into the prepared bell peppers, pressing down gently to fill them completely.
8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
9. Remove the foil and broil the stuffed peppers for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly browned.
10. Serve the Greek Style Spinach and Feta Stuffed Peppers warm, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
