MEMBER RECIPE: BUTTERNUT STUFFED WITH GREEN PEPPER AND COUSCOUS
Posted by Kate | Filed under Recipes, Summer 2010
This recipe comes from CSA member Annalisa, as another way to use green peppers. You can find last week’s suggestions for green peppers here.
She writes: For two persons, you need one butternut.
Firstly, cut the butternut in half lengthways, take out the seeds and then brush the cut sides with olive oil. Put them in a 200C oven for 30-40 minutes, until they become soft.
In the meantime, in a pan, heat a table spoon of olive oil and soften some chopped onions. Let the onions become golden and then add chopped green peppers.
Leave them cooking for about 20-30 minutes (they take a while), then add spices of your choice (coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, garam masala, etc.).
If you want to add carrots, you can cook them together with the green peppers or cook carrots apart in the way that you like (boiled or roasted in the oven, as suggested here).
Then make some couscous following the instructions on the box.
When the butternuts are ready, fill their cavities with couscous mixed with green peppers, onions and carrots.
I find the butternut delicious with the couscous!
Buon appetito…

Hey there, I was reading your article and I just wanted to say thank you for putting out such great content. There’s so much nonsense on the internet these days its difficult to find anything worthwhile. I actually have cooked this recipe before, I got this book last month on recommendation from a friend http://ninjahq.com/go/cookingrecipes and it turned out quite nice! I’m extremely eager to try your variation of it though, it looks fantastic. I think you might enjoy those recipes, they’re very good. Thanks for the article and great ideas.
