Ingredients for stuffed pointed peppers and sugar snap pea salad


Ingredients for Stuffed Bell Peppers

• 2 large bell peppers (preferably red and yellow)

• 100g couscous

• 200ml vegetable broth

• 1 tablespoon dried tomatoes

• 1 tablespoon olives

• Some parsley

• Some salt and pepper

• A dash of olive oil

Ingredients for Fresh Sugar Snap Pea Salad

• 100g sugar snap peas

• Half a carrot

• 5 cherry tomatoes

• A handful of baby spinach

• Salt and pepper

• 1 teaspoon mustard and 1 teaspoon honey

• A splash of olive oil and tarragon vinegar


 

Preparation for Stuffed Bell Peppers

We start by placing the bell peppers on a baking sheet and then sliding them into a preheated oven at 200°C. There we let them bake for about 20 minutes until their skin starts to blister and turn dark.


After the peppers have been roasted in the oven, we take them out and let them cool briefly. Then we carefully peel off the skin and remove the seeds.

Meanwhile, we bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Once it boils, we remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the couscous. We cover the saucepan and let the couscous swell for about 5 minutes.


While the couscous is swelling, we finely chop the dried tomatoes, olives, and parsley.

After the couscous has finished swelling, we add the chopped tomatoes, olives, and parsley. We season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste and add a dash of olive oil. Then we mix everything well.

With this prepared mixture, we now evenly fill the bell peppers.


Preparation for Fresh Sugar Snap Pea Salad

First, we wash the sugar snap peas thoroughly and remove the ends. Then we slice them lengthwise into thin strips. Next, we peel the carrot and grate it roughly. We halve the cherry tomatoes.


In a bowl, we combine the prepared sugar snap peas, grated carrot, halved cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach.


For the dressing, we mix mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Then we add a splash of olive oil and tarragon vinegar and mix everything well. We pour the dressing over the salad and mix everything thoroughly to distribute the flavors well.

Our fresh sugar snap pea salad and the stuffed bell peppers are now ready to serve.


Resumé

Our stuffed bell peppers with couscous on fresh sugar snap pea salad offer a perfect combination of taste and freshness. The preparation is simple: roast the peppers, fill the couscous, and arrange the sugar snap pea salad. The result is a balanced dish full of flavors and textures, ideal for healthy meals at any time of the day. We at foodforflexitarians wish you lots of enjoyment while cooking!
