I added some chopped kale to the couscous stuffing. It gave the dish a nice boost of nutrients.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, so I used zucchini instead. It worked out great!

I like to serve these stuffed peppers with a side of yogurt or sour cream. It helps to balance out the flavors and make the dish more creamy.

These stuffed peppers are a great way to use up leftover couscous. I usually make a big batch of couscous on the weekend and then use it to make these peppers during the week.

The couscous stuffing was a bit dry for my taste. I would recommend adding some more liquid, such as broth or tomato sauce, to the mixture.
