Ingredients
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed or finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup passata (crushed tomato)
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch cinnamon
1/2 cup couscous
3/4 cup feta, chopped
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
1 bunch flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
10 large peppers
Extra olive oil
1-2 cups fresh tomato sauce (optional)
Preparation
Method:
Heat olive oil in a heavy-based pan and gently fry onion and garlic until onion begins to color. Increase heat, add the ground lamb and brown well, breaking up thoroughly.
Add the oregano, red wine, passata, nutmeg and cinnamon and simmer gently for one hour, until meat has cooked and sauce is thick.
Prepare couscous according to packet directions.
Mix meat with couscous, feta, pine nuts, olives and parsley. Cut tops off pepper and remove seeds and membranes as thoroughly as possible. Brush with oil and stuff with lamb mixture.
Bake the stuffed peppers in a moderately hot oven, until pepper skin begins to wrinkle – about 40 minutes.
