- Meanwhile, place the couscous in a bowl and cover with 125ml boiling water. Stir, cover the bowl and leave to stand for 10 mins. Stir the couscous with a fork to break it up, then mix in the pine nuts, olives, feta, tomatoes and basil. Pile the couscous stuffing into the pepper halves and bake for 10 mins.
Couscous salad
The couscous stuffing can be served as a salad in its own right - good for a packed lunch. Simply place in a lidded container and top with a handful of mixed salad leaves. Stir through just before eating.
