Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450, with rack in upper third. Slice a very thin layer from the base of a pepper so it sits upright. Slice off top, just below stem, and remove ribs and seeds from tom and bottom. Repeat with remaining peppers. Discard stems; chop tops and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, coriander and chopped tops; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion has softened, 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add quinoa, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and bring to boil. Reduce to summer, cover and cook until water has been absorbed and quinoa is tender, 11-13 minutes. Remove fromt heat and stir in parsley, walnuts and 3/4 cup provolone; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Dividing evenly, stuff peppers with quinoa mixture; place in a 2-quart baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and top with remaining 1/4 cup provolone; bake until cheese melts, 10-15 minutes.
