Instructions
-
- Prepare the peppers: Slice the tops off and remove membranes and seeds. If peppers need help to stand up, slice a small portion off the bottom to make it flat. Brush the tops of the peppers with oil to get ready for the grill.
- Make the filling: Cook the couscous according to package directions. Head a large pan to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the uncooked sausage out of the casing. Cook and break apart the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Add in chopped tomatoes, dried oregano, kosher salt, pepper and chili flakes and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped basil, cooked couscous and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (450F). Oil the grill and grill peppers top side down for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Lower the heat to 350F. Remove the peppers from the grill to stuff.
- Stuff the peppers, dividing the filling between all 8 and top with shredded provolone cheese. Place a piece of foil down on the grill and then place peppers on the foil to cook until warmed through and the cheese is melted / bubbling, about 15-20 minutes.
