Method

Light/preheat a barbecue with a lid, then make the filling. Put the couscous in a bowl, pour over the stock, cover the bowl and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and season to taste. Stir the remaining filling ingredients into the couscous and set aside.
Brush the peppers with oil and place, cut-side down, on the barbecue for 5 minutes, then turn over and fill with the couscous mixture.
Cover with the barbecue lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, then serve.
