Couscous-Stuffed Peppers For Two image

This is a relatively quick vegetarian stuffed pepper recipe I made using ingredients I had on hand. Instead of cabbage, you could easily sub other veggies you have available, though I really liked the crunchy texture it added to the meal.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover couscous. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and olives to the stuffing for extra flavor.

This dish was easy to make and turned out delicious! I used a store-bought marinara sauce, which saved me time. The couscous stuffing was flavorful and perfectly cooked.

This recipe is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The combination of sweet bell peppers, savory couscous, and tangy feta cheese is perfect. I especially loved the crispy texture of the bell peppers after roasting them in the oven.
