Preparation:
Remove tops and seeds from green peppers. Stand pepper cups upright in microwave-safe baking dish. Wash and pick over peas. Place in medium saucepan with 1 1/4 cups water and vegetable broth mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute onions, garlic, and mushrooms in the balsamic vinegar. Remove from heat and stir in peas, along with cumin, oregano and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring one cup of water to a boil, add couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir into pea- vegetable mixture with half of the tomatoes. Stuff peppers with the mixture, cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes (mine needed about 8 minutes). Top with remaining tomatoes and serve. |
