Made these last night exactly as written – delicious!! The filling itself could make a great bowl meal. I also really love the cooking method for the couscous – I’m going to use this again for a side dish. Another one to add to the rotation for sure!

Hi! This is the second time I make the recipe, and it turns out awesome, but I don’t think I’m really understanding the couscous directions. When I follow yours and take it off the heat and add the broth and couscous, the couscous doesn’t cook and the liquid just sits there and I have to heat it up again for it to absorb and actually cook. I also tried boiling the broth beforehand, but it still wasn’t working. Any hints or suggested would be awesome! Thanks! Giving 5 stars cos it tastes amazing and is fun to make!

Perfect recipe on a hot summer lunch (we ate it at room temperature). Prep time was NOT 15 minutes in my kitchen… more like a 45 minutes. I used mint instead of basil and fonio (an African cereal) instead of couscous (cupboard cleaning !). Tasty and pleasantly unusual!

Made this last night for dinner with a couple adjustments based on what I had in the cupboards. It was delicious. I love when I can use a recipe for inspiration and not have to worry that substituting ingredients will negatively impact the flavour. I will be making this again.
I am so happy I found your site; I try at least 2 new recipes a week from your site; so far, so good! Thanks for sharing your talents.

Hi,
I love this recipe and have made it several times! I always use different color peppers to make it more colorful. I only use 3 so I can save the extra filling to chill and eat as a salad the next day. I also like to roast the garlic with the peppers and add it to the filling rather than add it with the tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are my favorite when they are in season. Thanks so much for sharing this as it is a great alternative to the recipe I grew up with.

P.S. “Halve” is a verb but you used it as a noun in sentence 5 (it should be “half.” No biggie, just noticed! :-)

This was so delicious! I subbed a few tiny Roma tomatoes and unexpected cheddar from TJ’s instead of feta, because that’s what I had in my fridge. I honestly am not a big tomato or onion fan, but these totally converted me. The flavors were amazing together! I also have to say that roasting the peppers separately from the stuffing was genius – most recipes put it together at the end in the oven, and I find this makes them mushy, overcooked, and takes too long. I loved how easy and quick this recipe came together! It was also really adaptable, as my meat-eating partner just subbed ground meat instead of lentils, and the flavors were still good according to him. It was wonderful to find a recipe we could both eat and adapt to our dietary needs. Thanks for another winner recipe Kate! :)

Wow! Just tried this recipe tonight. Had to change up some of the ingredients since not everything is available in the store right now. But WOW! Let me say, I’m not known for my cooking, but I’m trying. This was relatively easy, even though I had 3 things going at once. I’m also trying not to gain, so it fit perfectly in that plan too. Thank you!! Looking forward to exploring more of your recipes!!

This is my favorite recipe of all time. I swear, if I could have one meal for the rest of my life, I would never tire of it! I’ve made it several times, and it’s always been a hit. Today I tried using beyond beef instead of lentils, and it was super great! Reminded me of regular stuffed peppers my mom made when I was a kid :D
