Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and white membranes. Set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the couscous has absorbed all the liquid. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.
-
Stir in the drained diced tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the cooked couscous and crumbled feta cheese to the spinach mixture. Stir until well combined.
-
Stuff the bell peppers with the couscous and spinach mixture, gently pressing down on the filling to pack it evenly.
-
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to lightly brown the tops.
-
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
