Quinoa Stuffed Red Peppers

I've been enjoying this recipe..though my photo isn't the greatest. And I play around with the seasonings and such, but this is my basic recipe. The cilantro and ginger are great in it!

2 Red Peppers, cored/seeded and cut in half
1 c quinoa
2 c beef broth
1/2 t. ginger, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 t cumin
green onions
cilantro
almonds, slivered
salt and pepper to taste (don't skimp on the salt!)
feta cheese (optional)

1. Roast peppers at 400 for about 15 minutes
2. Sautee ginger and garlic in oil or butter
3. Add quinoa and cumin and sautee another minute
4. Add beef broth and bring to boil; cook ten minutes until broth is absorbed and quinoa done.
5. Remove from heat and add green onions, cilantro and almonds (and feta, if desired).
6. Stiff peppers with quinoa mixture and cook 10 more minutes.
