The ingredients for Couscous-Stuffed Peppers are:

1 c chicken broth - 99% fat free
2 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 couscous
1 c canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 packed cup chopped baby spinach
1/2 cup crumbled feta
2 T. olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Salt and Pepper
2 green bell peppers
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
Hot water as needed

Here is how you make Couscous-Stuffed Peppers:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Bring broth and cumin to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in couscous. Allow to sit for 5-6 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.Cut the stem end from the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. If necessary, slice a thin piece off of the bottom to allow them to stand in pan. In a medium bowl, combine couscous, beans, currants (I used cranberries), spinach, feta, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. The original recipe calls for 1/4 of oil. I think it's too much. I'd also add some sliced green onions for a little zing. Salt and pepper to taste.Place the stuffing into the peppers, and place in pan. Fill the pan with 3/4" of hot water. Bake for 55-60 minutes. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, cover with foil.Makes 4 servings. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NEPTHYS14747.
