Steps
- Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a half sheet-baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut the courgettes in half lengthwise and scoop out the inner flesh using a spoon. Coarsely dice the flesh and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add bell peppers, tomato, courgette flesh, salt, and pepper and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add cooked quinoa to the vegetable mixture and combine well.
- Arrange courgettes on the sheet and spoon the vegetable-quinoa mixture on to each courgette half. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- While the courgette is baking, prepare the tahini yoghurt drizzle. Place all tahini yoghurt ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Add additional water to achieve desired consistency.
- Remove courgette from the oven. Sprinkle on parmesan cheese and bake uncovered for an additional 5-8 minutes.
- Plate stuffed courgette, sprinkle parsley, and drizzle with tahini yoghurt dressing and serve immediately.
