Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Halve and deseed the peppers, keeping the stalks intact. Place them and the diced squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season, and sprinkle the chilli flakes over the squash. Roast for 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until just tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the giant couscous in a saucepan of boiling stock for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain through a sieve, then season. Stir the toasted pine nuts through the couscous along with the chopped coriander, roasted squash and feta.
- Spoon the couscous into the pepper halves and place back in the oven for 5 minutes until warmed through.
