<p>Healthy vegetarian stuffed baked tomatoes with spinach and chickpeas is a delicious vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free dinner idea. </p>

Vegetarian

Medium sized tomatoes

Extra virgin olive oil

Small Onion,  Diced

Cloves Garlic,  Minced

Sea salt

Freshly Cracked Pepper

Quinoa,  rinsed and drained

Water

Quartered cherry tomatoes

Cooked and drained chickpeas

Fresh baby spinach

step 1

Use a paring knife to cut the tops off the tomatoes at an angle, like you would when carving a pumpkin. Scoop the pulp out with a spoon and place it in a bowl. Season the cored tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper.

step 2

Heat olive oil in medium saucepan. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add thegarlic, salt, and pepper, and saute another two minutes longer. Add the quinoa, tomato pulp, and water and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook over low heat until the quinoa is cooked through, about 15 minutes. If the quinoa is still too wet, cook for a few minutes uncovered to evaporate some of the liquid. Stir in the tomatoes, chickpeas, spinach until the spinach has wilted.

step 3

Taste a little and add more salt or pepper if desired. Place the cored tomatoes into a casserole dish. Spoon the quinoa mixture inside the tomatoes and place to tomato tops back on. Bake for 20 minutes until the tomatoes are very tender. Garnish with fresh basil.
