Ingredients

  • 300 grams giant cous cous
  • 4 large red peppers
  • 150 grams pitted green olives
  • 1 green pepper
  • 4 spring onions
  • 200 grams feta
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • Large handful basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Cook the cous cous according to packet instructions.
  • Chop the green pepper, spring onions, olives and feta into small chunks and stir into the cous cous.
  • Add the chilli sauce and chopped basil leaves; stir well.
  • Carefully slice the tops off the red peppers and scrape out the seeds.
  • Check that the peppers can stand up on a baking tray; if not, shave a little off the bottom of each pepper until they stand – make sure you don’t make a hole in any of them though.
  • Stuff each pepper with a good portion of the cous cous, then place the ‘lid’ back on each.
  • Cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the peppers are just softened, and starting to colour.
