Middle Eastern Tahini Quinoa Stuffed Veggies

These Middle Eastern stuffed veggies are the ultimate comfort food. Just using simple ingredients, you can prepare a hearty one-pot meal that is quite delicious. As a healthy alternative, I used quinoa instead of rice in preparation. The combination of veggies, quinoa, olives, tomatoes and tahini will just blow your mind. The Tahini gives the extra kick that takes the dish into the next level.
