- Once the spinach is wilted, drain the can of diced tomatoes and then add them to the skillet. Stir to combine and then remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils and quinoa, herbs, salt & pepper, and the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the feta and mix until everything is mixed well.
- Spoon the mixture into each pepper half until you have used all of the filling. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with herbs or sprinkle with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
