BBQ Stuffed Capsicums (Recipe from Angel Food Recipe Club)

Method:

  1. Cook the couscous with the 1 tablespoon of vegan ‘chicken’ flavoured stock powder (add to water).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 mins, until soft.

  3. Add the za’atar and garlic, and cook for another minute.

  4. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for a further 3 mins. Afterward, take it off heat.

  5. Add the red wine vinegar and then combine with the cooked couscous.

  6. Add the cubed Angel Food Dairy-Free Cheddar Cheese, dates, nuts, remaining olive oil, half the Italian parsley, and season to taste.

  7. If you’re using a bbq, wrap the capsicum in foil and cook for 20 mins, turning them every so often. Alternatively, cook them in the oven without foil for 20 mins on 200°C bake or 180°C fan-bake. Once cooked, gently slice the tops off with a knife, making sure you don’t cut through the middle. Scoop out the seeds.

  8. Stuff the capsicum with the couscous mix, sprinkle with the leftover Italian parsley, and enjoy!
