The Armetale Vegetable Griller is perfect for cooking these delicious Healthy Stuffed Poblano Peppers. While they can be baked in the oven if a Vegetable Griller isn’t available, the oven version will lack the smoky flavor from the grill. This dish is a delicious Mexican meal in one; the peppers can be assembled ahead, and since it makes 8, half can be frozen for another day.

The filling contains shredded pork from the Basic Shredded Pork Module, but you can substitute shredded chicken, beef, pork or even leave the meat out entirely for a vegetarian version. Quinoa is considered a "supergrain," and it's not only very good for you, it's also easy to cook and tastes good.

No one will guess that these peppers are good for you since they are delicious as well as nutritious.
