Greek Style Couscous Stuffed Peppers
- 3 Bell peppers, red/yellow/orange
- 100 grams Couscous
- 50 grams Feta cheese, sliced
- 40 grams Sundried tomatoes
- 10 Black pitted olives, halved
- 3 tbsp Green pesto
- 30 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 Spinach leaves, to garnish
- Preheat the oven and put the kettle on to boil.
- Measure out 50g couscous (per person) and add 80ml (per person) boiling water and mix in a measuring jug.
- Cover and leave water to soak in for 10 mins, while you prepare the peppers.
- Cut peppers in half down the middle.
- I find this method much easier to eat than cutting the top off and filling the whole pepper, although it is down to personal preference.
- Deseed and devein the peppers, and put them in the oven/microwave until slightly soft (5 mins on high in the oven worked for me)
- Stir couscous with a fork and mix in the feta, sundried tomatoes and olives.
- Spread the pesto evenly on the inside of the peppers before spooning in the stuffing and packing it down.
- Add the grated cheddar on top of the peppers and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and starts to brown.
- Add salad to garnish such as spinach leaves, and enjoy!!!
