STUFFED YELLOW PEPPERS WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS AND PESTO

Steps:
- Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous. Stir until the couscous begins to color and smell toasty. Add 2 cups water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until the couscous is tender. Drain.
- Turn on a blender or a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Drop in the garlic. When it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the blender jar or food processor bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Add the basil leaves and salt to taste. Turn on the machine, and add the remaining olive oil. Process until smooth. Add the cheese, and blend until incorporated.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a lidded casserole large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Combine the couscous and pesto. Stir together. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Fill the halved peppers with this mixture, and arrange in the casserole. Pour the tomato sauce or purée into the dish. Cover and bake 45 minutes to an hour until the peppers are soft but still hold their shape. Remove from the heat, and serve hot or at room temperature, with some of the tomato sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with basil leaves.

Steps:
- preheat the oven to 375 with a rack in the upper third. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Slice a sliver off the bottom of each pepper to make a flat surface, being careful not to cut through to the inner cavity. Cut the top off of each pepper (about an inch below the stem) to make a stem-topped lid; set the tops aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and membranes, making 6 pepper "cups." Stand the pepper cups upright on the prepared sheet pan, lea ving a few inches between each pepper. Stir together the couscous, olive oil, broth, salt, pepper, spinach, rosemary, and goat cheese in a medium-sized bowl until well-combined. Spoon the stuffing into the peppers, distributing the liquid evenly and filling each pepper three-quarters full. Place the tops back on the peppers. Bake the peppers until they look a little puckery and the couscous has absorbed much of the liquid, about 30 mins. Remove the tops and sprinkle the filling with extra goat cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, until the cheese is melty and browned, an additional 5 to 10 mins. Let the stuffed peppers cool slightly before serving warm with hunks of crusty bread.
