Ingredients

  • cups couscous uncooked cooked
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  •  garlic cloves minced
  • tablespoon juice of lemon fresh
  • tablespoon olive oil 
  • large bell peppers red
  • teaspoon salt 
  • ounces pkt spinach fresh

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • pot
  • plastic wrap
  • aluminum foil
  • broiler
  • stove
  • spatula
  • tongs

Directions

  1. Roast the bell peppers on a gas stove's open flame, turning them with tongs, until the skins are blackened, for about 2-3 minutes; or roast them on a rack under the broiler 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for about 15 minutes.
  2. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them cool. When cool enough to handle, peel peppers starting at the stem end, carefully cut off the tops with a paring knife, and rinse out any seeds. Set aside.
  3. Lightly coat a saut pan with olive oil; place over medium heat. Saut garlic until it begins to turn golden, about 1 minute.
  4. Add spinach; cook over medium heat until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
  5. Remove pan from heat. Stir in lemon juice and salt; place spinach in a bowl. Preheat oven to 35
  6. In a small pot, cook couscous according to package directions (about 5 minutes). Using a spatula, add the couscous and the feta cheese to the wilted spinach, and mix well.
  7. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Generously stuff all the peppers with couscous-spinach stuffing, and place on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake on the center rack for about 8 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately.
