I’ve started to try to make raw version of cooked foods that i like. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Actually, many times it doesn’t, but, tonight, i’m quite proud of my concoction. A stuffed red pepper. Very simple, and straight forward, and also very easy to amend to your liking.

ingredients (all raw; yields 2-4 stuffed peppers):

• organic red pepper
• corn
• tomato
• green onion
• garlic
• spinach
• cilantro
• serrano chile
• quinoa
• sea salt
• ground cumin
• olive oil

Step 1:

sprout 1 cup quinoa (or more depending on how much you are making). To sprout soak in water overnight, rinse once or twice, after draining. Let the quinoa drain for a few hours, you want it to be semi-moist, but definitely not wet.

step 2:

Add chopped tomato, minced garlic, chopped spinach, chopped serrano chile, green onions cut length-wise approx 2 inches long, olive oil, ground cumin, sea salt, white pepper, and corn.

step 3:

cut red pepper in half, hallow out the pepper.

step 4:

stuff the red pepper and eat.

Make the stuffing to taste. I used 1 roma tomato, 1 clove of garlic, about 1/2 cup of corn, 1/2 serrano chile, and sprouted 1 cup of quinoa. Be careful with the cumin, i used a tad too much, but also realize that the red pepper will offset some of the stronger flavors in the stuffing. I’m going to try a slightly mellower pepper next time, orange or yellow.
