* Serves 4

What do I need?

• 150g (dry weight) couscous
• 50g butter
• 1 or 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• Olive oil
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 3 minced anchovies (optional)
• 250g grated Cheddar cheese
  
  Vegetables for stuffing (you don’t have to use all these — just choose
  your kids’ favourites):
• 2 red peppers, halved lengthwise and deseeded
• 4 large flat mushrooms, wiped clean and stalks removed
• 2 small courgettes, halved lengthwise and seeds scooped out

How do I make it?

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Cook the couscous according to packet instructions. Add butter and fluff up briefly with a fork.
2. In a small pan, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a little olive oil, adding the parsley in the last few seconds. Mix into the couscous, along with the minced anchovies.
3. Stuff the vegetables tightly with the couscous mix and place on a lightly oiled baking tray. Cook in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake in the oven for another 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the vegetables are soft and cooked through.
