Ingredients
1 c chicken broth - 99% fat free2 tsp. ground cumin3/4 couscous1 c canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed1 packed cup chopped baby spinach1/2 cup crumbled feta2 T. olive oil, plus more for drizzling Salt and Pepper2 green bell peppers1 red bell pepper1 yellow bell pepperHot water as needed
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.
