Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked couscous, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onion, garlic, parsley, olive oil, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stuff the halved bell peppers with the couscous mixture, packing them tightly.
