  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut each pepper in half through the stem, and remove the seeds. Put the peppers, cut-side up, on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season well. Roast for 15 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small frying pan, add the courgette and cook until soft. Remove from the heat, then stir through the quinoa, feta and parsley. Season with pepper.
  3. Divide the quinoa mixture between the pepper halves, then return to the oven for 5 mins to heat through. Serve with a green salad, if you like.

    I made this for 2 so we reduced it accordingly. I didn't have any quinoa so used cous cous made with a veg stock cube, I also added dried mushrooms and fried spring onions to it, eventhough I didn't quite have the oven hot enough it was really nice and pretty filling with a large side salad. Yummy :)

    It could probably be a bit bland without extra seasoning. At least for ones after more flavour :) Used some leftover cous cous made with courgette and herbs, added feta cubes preserved in oil plus a few spoonfuls of the oil to the stuffing and covered with some leftover mozzarella. Freshly ground black pepper, torn basil, bruschetta with fresh pesto made of rocket, herbs and almons. And a glass of chilled white wine. Perfect!

    I made this for my sister the other night and it is more filling than it looks. I forgot to buy the parsley, so added some garlic puree and spring onions to the courgette whilst cooking and served with bread and salad as suggested.

    Nice and colourful. I used leftover couscous and also put some fried mushrooms into the mix. Served with sausages.
