Caigua Rellena Stuffed Caigua

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

3. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.

4. Stir in the diced tomato, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, frozen peas, corn kernels, and half of the grated cheese. Mix well to combine.

6. Lightly grease a baking dish with oil and place the halved and deseeded caigua in the dish.

7. Spoon the beef and quinoa mixture into each caigua half, filling them generously. Top with the remaining grated cheese.

8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the caigua is tender when pierced with a fork.

9. Once cooked, remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese on top.

10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
