The simplest way to cook couscous is to pour it into a bowl and just cover it with boiling water. Leave to stand, covered, for 5 minutes until the water has been absorbed. Use a fork to fluff up your cous cous. 

Toast your pine nuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes and add to your couscous with your raisins, olives, cinnamon, vinegar and feta.

Soften the onions in a pan with your parsley stalks. Mix into your couscous and give it all a good season.

Stuff the peppers with your couscous mix and lay them on a roasting tray, drizzled with oil and an extra little pinch of cinnamon and roast for 15 minutes.
