Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Cut the tops off of the tomatoes and hollow out the insides.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 1-2 minutes. Add bell peppers, eggplant and carrots and saute until tender, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add quinoa and cook gently for 2 minutes. Add the stock to the quinoa and vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid and is fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
  • When quinoa is cooked, remove the cover and fluff the quinoa. Gently mix in the avocado, pepper and parsley. Carefully stuff about 3/4 cup of quinoa into each tomato. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven until tomatoes are heated through, about 15-20 minutes.

Chef Tips

Make your own vegetable stock from scraps to reduce food waste and control sodium.
