Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Cut the peppers in half through the stalks and scoop out the seeds. Put the peppers in one layer on a baking sheet. Drain the mushrooms, reserving the oil from the jar - drizzle one tablespoon of the oil over the peppers, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are just tender.
  2. Tip the couscous into a bowl and pour in the hot stock. Leave for 5 minutes to soak, then fluff up with a fork and stir in the mushrooms, halloumi and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and spoon into the pepper halves. Return to the oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden. Serve the peppers warm with a mixed salad and garlic bread.

    This is really tasty. I used sauted fresh mushrooms with garlic instead of marinated mushrooms. I love halloumi and the end result is delicious and very filling

    Original method not very tasty for me. I sauted Chestnut mushrooms, garlic and a small leek (next time I will use red onion) then I also added 2 teaspoons dried chives to the couscous along with the stock. I then mixed in 2oz of cheddar cheese, When they were cooked I then put a little grated cheddar on the top and popped under the grill. Very nice.

    This was yummy! Very easy, using storecupboard ingredients and tasted even better the next day for lunch! I used a jar of grilled courgettes which needed using up, instead of mushrooms and it was still delicious!

    Very tasty! I made this just as the recipe suggested, we loved it, we're trying to eat less meat and this will certainly help.

    I made these in the morning of a dinner party and then cooked them at the last minute. When I tasted the couscous in the morning, it was far more flavoursome than it was after being in the peppers. In future, I would add the filling at the last minute.

    Awesome. I made these with a completely different filling. I had some leftover rice with peas so I just added the halloumi to that. I had done stuffed peppers in the past with disastrous results, but this trick of cooking them alone beforehand is fantastic. The peppers were perfect, soft and creamy. My flatmate loved them!

    Super tasty! Didn't have the mushrooms, but improvised and just chucked in a bit of what we fancied: sweetcorn, jalapenos and spinach. I might make it with mushrooms next time. The combination of pepper, cous cous and halloumi is lovely.

    I'm trying this tonight but I wanted low fat halloumi but couldn't find any - so am trying with feta and I've added a few pinenuts too. I think I will use cooked mushrooms next time as the marinade in my particular jar of antipasti wasn't really to my taste. I do think it will taste good though - Just another 15 minutes and I'll find out....

    It worked really well for a dinner, easy to cook for two people! I used fresh mushrooms and the flavours didn't taste very strong - next time I may add sundried tomatoes/feta or Cheddar/chilli alongside mushrooms and couscous. Incredibly easy to make however!

    These went down really well with friends. Easy to prepare ahead. I used fresh mushrooms too, just fried them off with lots of garlic and then cooled them before adding to the couscous. I also used a mix of halloumi with chilli and one with basil.
