Quinoa Stuffed Peppers with Yumm! Sauce

Here is my very good friend “Yumm Sauce”.

Have you tried this stuff? If not, I would recommend not trying it. Ever. Why? Because you will become addicted and there is no substitute for the Yumm. It is god’s gift to sauce. It has a lemony, curry, spicy, tangy goodness that just can’t be matched. I think I have gained 10 pounds since discovering the Yumm. I put it on EVERYTHING (rice, pasta, eggs, crackers, cake, ice cream).

They actually don’t make or sell it any where near Boise, so once every few months my friend Crissie visits Oregon and brings back bottles for our household.

 I have attempted to make Yumm sauce from scratch and was unsuccessful after many attempts. It cannot be duplicated. Don’t even bother trying.

I had some bell peppers from Costco and decided to make some Quinoa Stuffed Peppers with Yumm Sauce.

The Yumm sauce is quite rare in certain parts of the country, so if you don’t have access then you can always substitute with a little lemon and olive oil. It won’t be as Yummy though. Snort.

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers with Yumm Sauce

 4 Bell Peppers
1.5 cups of Quinoa
Chicken Broth or Stock (enough according to package of Quinoa)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic chopped
2 tablespoons basil chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup Feta Cheese
2 Roma tomatoes chopped
3 Tablespoons Yumm Sauce (or olive oil and lemon mixture)
1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350.

Halve peppers and scoop out membranes and seeds.

Prepare Quinoa according to package directions with chicken broth.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet sauté onion and garlic over medium until onions are translucent. Add basil, oregano and Feta.

Add cooked Quinoa and tomatoes. Then comes the Pièce de résistance, Yumm Sauce. Salt and Pepper to taste. Spoon Quinoa mixture into bell pepper halves.

Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake for 25 minutes.

Try not to bathe yourself in Yumm. It is that addicting.
