Ingredients

  • 3 medium bell peppers red, yellow or green
  • 1.5 c. chopped onions
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried mint leaves
  • 1 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp. dried dill
  • ¼ c. lemon juice
  • 1 c. chicken broth
  • ½ c. couscous
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 8 oz. ground lamb
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¼ c. toasted pine nuts
  • ½ c. crumbled feta

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds, then place on a greased cookie sheet cut side down. Bake at 450° for 13-15 minutes. When peppers are browned nicely, removed from the oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a sauté pan, heat olive oil and add onions and spices. Sauté onions until they have a nice brown color, about 5 minutes. Add lamb and cook until meat is no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  • To the sauté pan with the onions and meat, add the chicken broth, ½ of the lemon juice and couscous. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, immediately turn it down to low and cover. Let it sit covered for 4-5 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste as well as the remaining lemon juice, toasted pine nuts and ½ of the feta.
  • Turn roasted peppers cut-side up, and fill with mixture. Be generous when filling, and overflow the top of the pepper a bit. Top the filled peppers with the remaining feta. Return peppers to oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until feta is slightly melted. Serve warm with a side of cold tzatziki.
