Method
Preheat the oven to 220°C (Gas Mark 7). Toss the peppers with the oil to coat, then place in a roasting tin in one layer. Roast for 25 minutes until charred in places and soft. Turn the oven down to 180°C (Gas Mark 4). Meanwhile prepare the kusksu. Put the oil in a medium saucepan set over low heat and add the onion and courgettes with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes. Add coriander seeds and kusksu pasta and toast everything for a minute or two with the heat turned up to medium-high. Now add the thyme leaves, tomato paste, paprika and garlic, stirring through for a minute, followed by the stock. Cover and simmer the couscous for 12 minutes until just tender. Once the pasta is cooked, add the vinegar and mix well. Cut a long slit on one side of each roasted pepper and remove any seeds and core (leaving stalks intact). Nestle them in the roasting tin and stuff each pepper with a gibna roll stick and top with the pasta filling. Drizzle each one with more olive oil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Divide yoghurt between each plate and serve the peppers on top with a good scattering of thyme leaves.
