Instructions

Prepare bell peppers

Step 1

Pre-heat the hot air oven to 230 degrees Celsius. Cut a very thin slice off the bottom, so that the pepper can stand on its own. Cut off the top (with stalk). Now cut the inner part out with a small knife. Hold the pepper upside down and tap it to remove any seeds. Put both peppers in a oven dish.

Make the filling

Step 2

Cook the couscous (or bulgur or something similar) in the broth according to the instructions. Fry the onion in some olive oil. After a few minutes, add the garlic and zuchini. If you have other left-overs that fit the taste, add them too. Season with herbs, salt and pepper. When couscous is ready, mix it all together and add the tomatoes. Stuff the peppers. If there’s more mixture, just add it to the oven dish.

Bake

Step 3

Put in the oven for 10 minutes. The peppers are then warm but still crispy. If you prefer them more tender, leave a bit longer in the oven. For the non-vegans: add some grated cheese or feta after removing from the oven (on your plate). Enjoy!
