4 large bell peppers
5 1/2 ounces couscous
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
3 ounces green beans, trimmed and chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
