Description

Cheesy Couscous Stuffed Peppers make a delicious side dish or meal. A great way to use all the green peppers and zucchini from your garden!

Ingredients

  • 6 whole Green Peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Chopped Onion
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1-½ cup Chicken Or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 cup Uncooked Couscous
  • 1 cup Zucchini, Cubed
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut tops off of green peppers and discard the tops. Boil the peppers in water for about 5 minutes; drain and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and then add onions and garlic. Saute 2-3 minutes or until tender.

Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, zucchini, parsley and pepper. Remove from heat.

Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in cheddar cheese. Spoon mixture into green peppers and top with a little more cheese.

Bake in a casserole dish covered loosely with foil for 25-30 minutes.

I liked these, very filling but light. I like both ideas of adding tomatoes or mushrooms, I may have to try that next time!

These were pretty good, I think I would cook the peppers less time as after 5 mins, mine were on the verge of falling part and I did end up w/ one wounded soldier. Would be really good w/ some mushrooms in there too. Thanks for sharing!

This was great, and so easy! I added cherry tomatoes (quartered) from the garden and it punched it up a bit. Can’t wait to make these again on a cool fall night.

The whole family loved these – I used yellow squash instead of zucchini because that is what I had. They were delicious! Thanks for sharing.
