Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2.
Rinse the quinoa for a few minutes under running water. Cook the quinoa for 11 minutes in a pot with plenty of boiling water. Keep one cup of the cooking water and discard the rest with a colander. Set the quinoa aside.
3.
Wash all the vegetables well. Cut the onion into small pieces, chop the garlic, remove the seeds from the Italian pepper and cut it into small squares. Soak the cashews in half a cup of hot water for at least 15 minutes. Drain and wash the black beans. Mix the fried tomato sauce with the cooking water of the quinoa.
4.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian pepper. Let everything cook for a few minutes until the pepper starts to become tender. Add the black beans, the diluted fried tomato sauce and season with cumin, cayenne and paprika powder. Season to taste. Let it cook until the liquid is reduced by half and add the quinoa. Let everything cook for 3 more minutes while stirring, so the quinoa blends in well. Remove from the pan.
5.
Cut the yellow pepper in half, season it ¡ to taste and drizzle it with some oil. Fill the pepper with the quinoa mixture. Bake them in the oven for 15 minutes or until the pepper is soft.
6.
For the salad: grate the carrot, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and chop the green part of the scallion. Place everything together in a bowl. For the dressing: drain the cashew nuts. Blend the cashew nuts with a hand blender, together with the juice of the lemon, 2 tablespoons of water, the coriander and pepper to taste. If the consistency is too thick, add a little water.
