Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the couscous and raisins in a heatproof bowl. Stir together the stock, honey and lemon juice, then pour over the couscous. Cover and leave to absorb for 5 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, make the gremolata. Place the lemon zest, garlic and parsley in a mini food processor, then whizz until fine (or finely chop everything together). Stir 1 tbsp of this mixture into the yogurt, then set aside. Stir the remaining mixture into the couscous with the tomatoes and some seasoning.
  3. Spoon the couscous mixture into each pepper half, then sit them in a small roasting tin. Drizzle with oil, then bake for 40 mins until the peppers are tender. Serve with the yogurt and a simple green salad on the side.

    I'm not one for vegetarian meals. However i found this meal very safisfying. I cooked it using rice and i also added a small chopped mushroom and a spring onion. I have made it twice now. The first time i found some of the rice went really hard (almost took a tooth out) so the second time i wrapped the peppers in foil, much better.

    The couscous tasted wonderful until it was cooked in the oven, then it went dry and crispy, the raisins that were on the top burnt and the whole thing went bland. Like the first reviewer even when using couscous not rice I would say wrap well with foil!

    That was really nice! I covered the peppers with foil paper for the first half an hour to prevent the couscous drying out. It worked! However I am not convinced that the peppers were at their best. I am definitely going to try this dish again, but I might consider roasting the peppers first and when they are nearly done add the couscous. I will let you know ;)

    Delicious! Double it, because if it tastes as good as the ones we had you'll want more than a few... seriously though, for me this is quite a light dinner so if you have a big appetite think bigger!

    I had grilled the peppers earlier -- but think it lost its shape - so would not do that. Added feta and spring onions to couscous mixture
