Stuffed peppers have always been a veggie favourite and this was just another variation of that which I really enjoyed eating. The assembly was less enjoyable...
First, the couscous and raisins were put into a bowl and covered with hot water. This was left for 5 minutes or so until it as all absorbed and the couscous could be fluffed up by a fork. This was then stirred into a mixture of chopped parsley, pine nuts, some of the feta and what should have been a pinch of cinnamon but was more like a teaspoonful!
The filling was then generously stuffed into jarred pre-roasted peppers. The peppers were preserved in oil so handling them whilst trying to stuff with couscous was incredibly slippery and I couldn't get them stuffed all the way down without splitting the peppers. In the end I resigned to stuffing a little bit and allowing some to just spill out on the baking dish.
This was topped with the remaining feta and baked for 15 minutes in the oven. The result was delicious, but I might use the remaining filling in actual peppers for structural stability! I served the peppers with a small green salad.
