Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pop the peppers on a plate and microwave on Medium for 5 mins, until almost soft. Place on a baking tray, cut-side up.
  2. 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.

    Very easy and yum too. Served as a side to a pork dinner! The microwaving worked really well - i was a bit dubious but it was so easy to do and less hassle. I reheated them on the BBQ once they were stuffed which gave them a really nice flavour. Will do again!!!

    Found this recipe really easy and quick to make, great for lunch! They were little dry but served with iceberg lettuce and onion and garlic dip- so tasty! Furthermore I think they need more time in the mircrowave. I may try a flavoured cous-cous next time to increase the flavours.

    Something went wrong. 5 minutes at full power left the peppers undercooked. 10 minutes in the oven left the stuffing cold and did nothing to finish off the peppers. The taste was potentially very good but undercooking meant that this was not the best recipe. (There is nothing wrong with my microwave. It works fine for other things.)

    Made this with cherry toms, mushrooms (uncooked), a packet of sundried tomato and garlic ainsley harriot couscous and the feta, topped with a little bit of cheddar before putting in the oven. Served with homemade potato wedges and salad. Only needed a half each so got another half for lunch tomorrow. Was really yummy.
