Stuffed Banana Peppers image

We had a bumper crop of peppers this year that were beautiful, so why not make stuffed peppers with a twist using banana peppers instead of bell peppers. You can adjust the recipe for more peppers if needed. I used quoina in my stuffing instead of rice, but you can use your choice. Hope you enjoy as much as we do! I show two...

I like to add a little bit of heat to my stuffed banana peppers, so I usually add a diced jalapeno to the filling.
