Stuffed peppers à la Martha

stuffedpeppers

This month’s issue of Martha Stewart Living had a recipe for Greek style stuffed peppers.  It seemed easy enough and looked pretty in the photo.  And pretty healthy too.  I know I’ve slipped a bit in the healthy cooking area so I thought this would be a good way to get back on track.  Stuffed with couscous (a new mom’s favourite grain.. or is it a pasta?) these peppers couldn’t be easier to put together.  While the recipe doesn’t say whether or not to cook the couscous in advance, I chose to cook mine.  It only takes five minutes.  I also cooked my couscous in some chicken stock for extra Martha points.

Of course, it’s the feta that makes this recipe.  (Insert Rachel Ray clapping at the mention of cheese.)  I’ve been buying my feta at the Herb & Spice – they have a nice Canadian one that doesn’t taste quite as salty as the usual feta I’d find at the grocery store.

I also cooked ours in the oven and not the slow-cooker and it definitely did not take the full hour that Martha suggests… unless you like pepper mush.

While the peppers would make a light snack, I was left hungry after I made them for supper.  No one likes a hungry mom.

    You can always use cheddar cheese if you don’t have feta.

    Thanks for the great recipe. Martha rules!
