slit each pepper lengthwise on one side only. Open slightly; remove all
seeds, keeping pepper as intact as possible. Reserve peppers. Bring stock
to a boil in medium saucepan, add quinoa, stir well, and reduce heat to a
simmer. Cover and cook until stock has been absorbed, 12 to 16 minutes. Set
aside to cool. Heat oil in medium skillet over mediumlow heat. Add carrots
and onions; cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer carrot mixture to quinoa. Stir in walnuts, oregano, cheese, salt,
and pepper. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a large ovenproof
casserole with cooking spray. Fill each pepper with quinoa mixture; arrange
in casserole. Heat peppers in oven until warm, and tops are slightly
crusty, 20 to 30 minutes. Make AnchoChile Sauce: Toast peppers on hot
skillet, turning to brown evenly. Transfer to a bowl; let cool. Slit
peppers open; remove stems and seeds. Reserve peppers; discard stems and
seeds. Place stock and toasted peppers in a small saucepan. Add salt and
cumin. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook 15
