Couscous Stuffed Bell Peppers

**Daniel Fast Worthy

I love couscous. Stuffing it in bell peppers is a creative way to enjoy it. I cooked these peppers in the oven, but you can also grill them to bring out a nice smoky flavor. To do so, wrap the stuffed peppers in foil, making sure tops are on to keep the juice inside, and throw on grill for about 20 minutes depending on size of pepper and heat of grill. Feel free to add in seasonings to your tasting!

Ingredients:
2 green bell peppers
1 box whole wheat couscous
Olive oil
Sea Salt
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp cumin, optional

Preheat oven to 350. Cook couscous according to package directions, adding cumin, sea salt, garlic, and drizzle of olive oil to finished couscous pan. For the peppers, cut tops of peppers off and scoop out seed pods creating a bowl. Put tops of peppers aside. Place peppers in small baking dish lined in foil. Drizzle olive oil inside the bell pepper bowls. Stuff each pepper with couscous and drizzle more olive oil on top of couscous, cover with pepper tops. Cook in oven for about 25 minutes or until you see the bell pepper is evenly cooked through. Cut in half to easily enjoy eating the stuffed pepper!
