In Greek style stuffed peppers (and throughout the Mediterranean) the peppers must be cooked until fully tender, they can not be crunchy or taste raw in any way. To accomplish this, before they're stuffed, grill the peppers for a few minutes (gas grill or indoor griddle will work) until they gain a nice char all around (great flavor)! Simply stuff your peppers, bake and finish the dish with a fresh tomato-basil topping. Stir the couscous with a fork to break it up, then mix in the pine nuts, olives, feta, tomatoes and basil.
