Some days you just need a quick and easy dinner that’s got all the summer feels and flavours about it, ya know? And sometimes you need it to be totally veggie. And sometimes you even need a recipe that’s perfect for you to use those artichokes from that jar sitting in the back of the fridge that you bought for a salad about 4 months ago.

This is that recipe. This is a back pocket, any night kinda recipe.

These stuffed bell peppers are all that’s right with 20 minute recipes.

Top Reasons you should be making these Mediterranean Stuffed Bell Peppers

  1. They take very little prep. You can chop, right?
  2. These peppers are totally veggie. Because we’re pretty flexitarian ’round here.
  3. These little peppers are loaded with all the cupboard staples that you already have at home anyway. Maybe just stop for some fresh herbs… or don’t. You can use dried herbs. That’s cool too.

So let’s talk about what it actually takes to get these stuffed bell peppers from idea to dinner.

First you cut the peppers and get all the seeds out. Then you pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes while you make the couscous and chop the artichokes and sundried tomatoes. Once the couscous is done you add your chopped mediterranean veggies and toss like you were born to toss veggies.

If you get that feeling, then you can add some soft mozzarella cheese and get it all melty under the grill. And then you drizzle the whole sweet, savoury roasted stuffed bell pepper business with some sticky and sweet balsamic glaze and toss will all the fresh herbs.

    They look delicious. Just a quick question, how many degrees do you put the oven at?

      Hi Lina, if your oven is at 180c or 350f that’s perfect. I’d love to hear what you think of them!

    2 questions: How much is 100 g of couscous in English units? How do you make a balsamic glaze?

      Hi Cristy, 100g is about 1/2 cup. The balsamic glaze can be made by reducing down 250ml of regular balsamic vinegar. Reduce it over a gently heat for about 15 minutes, or until it’s a syrupy consistency. It will keep forever once you’ve reduced it. If you want to fast track it, they usually sell balsamic glaze in the deli section of your local supermarket, or Costco definitely sells it in their deli/cheese section. I’d love to know how they turn out for you!
