Couscous-Stuffed Peppers

Whatever happened to stuffed bell peppers? It’s not a recipe you see a ton of these days, but we swear by this simple, satisfying, and timeless dish. After browning a half-pound of ground beef and cooking a half-cup of couscous, you’ll mix the two together with sliced scallions, crumbled Feta, dried apricots, salt and pepper. Then all that’s left is to hollow-out four peppers, add the filling, and bake the meal in a 400-degree oven for nearly an hour. The fruit brings a bit of sweetness to the hearty peppers. Try mixing in cilantro, raisins, pine nuts, or other additions, too.
