Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the garlic, onion, aubergine and diced pepper for about 5 minutes. Stir into the quinoa and season. Allow to cool before stirring in the parsley, mint, pesto and feta. Preheat the oven to 180?C.

Fill the mini peppers with the quinoa mixture, place on a baking tray and drizzle with the extra oil. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Serve garnished with the extra parsley.
