We have dinner guests coming on friday. One is vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten free.
I’m thinking about making a crustless veggie quiche (and probably a second quiche with meat, cheese, and crust), but I would welcome other ideas.
...or cargo rice with mushrooms, zucchini, and tomatoes. She's bringing a salad, and we'll have chicken for the meat eaters. Fresh fruit for dessert.
Is that sufficient?
I think potatoes--like new or baby Dutch yellows--would be more substantial than rice but go just as well with mushrooms, zucchini, and tomatoes. You could serve chimichurri or salsa verde on the side.

Could do stuffed peppers, some with meat, some with black beans in place of the meat. I did this once for my then-husband, who was a meat-eater, and his visiting brother, who was vegetarian.

That's an interesting combination! I can't imagine being vegetarian and gluten free. My wife is gluten free by necessity (Celiac Disease) and I'm Vegan by choice, so it's always interesting trying to find a restaurant to accomodate us both. We rarely accept dinner invitations to someone's home because we don't want to burden them with our dietary needs/preferences. At home, we usually prepare our own individual meals.
Ingredients:
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups vegetable broth (or water)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Quinoa:
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Bell Peppers:
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the outside of the peppers with olive oil and place them in a baking dish.
Prepare the Filling:
Add diced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and corn to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Stuff the Peppers:
Spoon the quinoa and vegetable mixture into each bell pepper until they are generously filled.
Bake:
Place the stuffed bell peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) before serving.
