This recipe is from the November 2007 issue of Foods Matter Magazine - Wheat, gluten, corn, soya, dairy, egg & nut free - Both versions of these stuffed peppers are very tasty and easy to make. Increase or decrease the number of chiles according to how hot you want the dish to be. The cabbages make an interesting contrast - and would work equally well with any other dish.

Serve 6

2 red, 2 yellow and 2 green medium-size peppers, cored
olive oil
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped finely
1-2 chilis, seeded and sliced finely

6oz sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
4oz quinoa grains or wholegrain brown rice
2 1/4 cups gluten/wheat free beef or chicken stock
wine glass of red wine
4 bay leaves
