Couscous-Stuffed Peppers For Two image

This is a relatively quick vegetarian stuffed pepper recipe I made using ingredients I had on hand. Instead of cabbage, you could easily sub other veggies you have available, though I really liked the crunchy texture it added to the meal.

These stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices to the filling next time. The peppers were roasted nicely, though.
