COUSCOUS STUFFED TOMATOES



Couscous Stuffed Tomatoes image

I started craving stuffed tomatoes for lunch today, but nothing already posted sounded really good. I got a lot of inspiration from all the various stuffed tomato recipes, went through my cupboards, and came up with this. Hope you enjoy as much as I did! The artichoke heart can either be fresh, from a can, or from fozen and thawed. This would make a lovely vegetarian lunch if you use vegetable broth, or even a lovely side dish for dinner.

GREEN BELL PEPPERS STUFFED WITH TOMATO LENTIL COUSCOUS



Green Bell Peppers stuffed with Tomato Lentil Couscous image

This is a very beefy recipe for stuffed peppers, so be forewarned! We like to cut the peppers lengthwise, making shallow boats out of them instead of cups. Either way works well for this recipe.

5 green bell peppers
2 pounds ground beef
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
