Perfect as a mid-week meal, or served on a smaller scale as a starter.
Ingredients:
4 large long red peppers
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onions roughly chopped
1 (regular sausage size) of chorizo chopped in to cubes
1 large courgette cut in to cubes
200g giant cous cous (cooked to pack instructions)
Approx 15 cherry tomatoes (I used a mix of yellow and red ones) cut in to quarters
Ground black pepper & salt to taste
Handful of fresh mint finely chopped
Grating of parmesan
Instructions:
- Slice peppers in half lengthways and place top to tail in a large baking dish – drizzle with 2 tablepoons of the olive oil.
- Fry off the onions, chorizo and courgette in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Season to taste, then add the cous cous and chopped tomatoes.
- Fill the peppers with the mix.
- Sprinkle over the fresh mint & grated parmesan then whack in the oven (gas mark 5) for 20-30 minutes – or until the peppers have become nicely wilted.
Enjoy 🙂
they look so yum!
Thanks 🙂 they tasted gooood! V easy to do too.
That looks so good! I’m going to give this a try this week only I’ll probably have to use normal cous cous, I haven’t found the giant kind yet but I’ll keep looking! 🙂
I got mine from the luxury section in Sainsbury’s – comes in a blue box from Merchant Gourmet, you can also buy directly from them online (watch the postage cost though!) http://www.merchant-gourmet.com/
Thank you 🙂 Yes the postage can make it astronomical. I’ll keep an eye out in Sainsburys, if I don’t have any luck then I might just have to place a cheeky order 😉
Looks goooooooood 😉
Thank you 🙂 was V tasty… it’s all in the chorizo 😉
Thanks @NYinRome 🙂 It definitely tasted good… I could do with eating it again for lunch today!
