Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

100g wholewheat couscous , rinsed and drained
3 tbsp raisins
bunch parsley , roughly chopped
25g pine nuts
100g feta , crumbled
pinch of cinnamon
3 tbsp olive oil
290g jar grilled whole peppers , drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the couscous and raisins in a bowl with a pinch of seasoning and just cover with boiling water. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir through the parsley, pine nuts, half the feta, the cinnamon and 2 tbsp of the oil. Mix and season to taste.
  • Generously stuff the peppers with the couscous mix (any leftover stuffing can be served next to the peppers), then lay them in a small roasting tin and scatter over the remaining feta. Drizzle with the remaining oil and bake in the oven for 15 mins until hot and the feta has turned golden.
