Quinoa-Stuffed Poblano Chiles

I thought this was outstanding! My husband historically has not liked quinoa but even he loved this! The second time I omitted the pumpkin seeds- didn't miss them. Highly recommend!

Tasty, but needs something extra.

I left out the soy sauce, added canned tomatoes instead of the red pepper, and used the drained tomato sauce to coat the pan. I also broiled and peeled the poblanos before stuffing, and added chili powder,cumin, and cayenne to the sauteed vegetables and tomato sauce. It came out really well.

This recipe is bland, bland, bland! I used pepper jack cheese, added cumin and red pepper flakes for a kick and used more soy sauce and lime juice than recommended. I also flame roasted the peppers to give them more flavor and to pre-heat them before stuffing them with the quinoa. I also added one small chopped zucchini to the quinoa which helped make it more filling. Thank you to other reviewers for honest reviews and suggested add-ins (The el Pato tomato sauce was delicious)! (Really good recipe with these changes!)

The peppers skin was tough so next time i will roast them. Didnt add pumpkin seeds. Didnt have tomato juice so added a bit of water to tomato sauce. Im a flavor person so these were a bit bland (but didnt have jalapeños so will try next time). Nothing a little hot sauce & dollop of sour cream couldn't fix!

Really enjoyed this dish. We roasted the peppers over our gas flame to soften them up a bit and give them a char. Also, I definitely recommend using El Pato tomato sauce (Ethnic food section) to give it a little more heat.

Thought this was a very tasty dish. I made the following modifications to the recipe: (1) didn't have the pumpkin seed kernels, (2) added a bit more garlic and (3) added a touch more soy sauce. Also, rather than using cheddar, I opted for grated parmesan. I thought that it might add a "nutty" flavor. Next time around, I might add other veggies (carrots, zucchini, etc.). For a bit more "kick," chorizo could be good. I'd definitely make this again. Not sure I would make it for a special occasion. Perhaps a few more attempts to make it my own.

My husband and I are trying to be a little more meat-light and this was outstanding. I added a little more soy sauce/lime juice (maybe another 1/2 the amount) than called for and was glad. Used habenero white cheddar for a little extra kick. FABULOUS and many complex flavors. Needed a little salt but otherwise great. Cook time for the peppers was spot on with the recipe; they came out cooked through and very soft. My husband loved it and we were both surprised that we loved a vegetarian meal!

Great recipe, although I did alter it slightly. I forgot to buy tomato juice so I just dry roasted the peppers and it was great! Also, I roasted the peppers for 10 minutes before stuffing since others indicated they required more cooking time. So excited to have these left over for lunch tomorrow!

This recipe was very simple and very delicious. I didn't have any soy sauce so I made them without it out. I also cooked the peppers and onions longer than the 2 minutes called for. The stuffing turned out juicy and flavorful.

Pretty good, but the poblanos need to cook more. Just putting them in the oven for 30 minutes isn't enough. Maybe roast them first? Otherwise, good recipe.

This was a very flavorful dish. The only thing thing I did different was to roast the pablanos under the broiler and remove the charred skins first. The filling was great. I could have ate that by itself as a side to something else. YUM!

This recipe definitely has great potential, I just have to play with it a bit. I made it as is last night and it was very disappointing, bland. It needs more spice, maybe the spicy V-8, or chipotles instead of plain jalapeno's. I'll try it again and if it turns out way better I'll add a review to include the subs I made

This turned out great. I did have to make a few substitutions to use what I had on hand, used sunflower seeds instead of pumpkin seeds and spicy hot tomato juice instead of regular and it still was amazing. Neither my guests nor I had tried quinoa before and everyone loved it.

Everyone in the family loved it - even the meat-lovers. Excellent.
