It is beautiful served as part of a buffet and lends itself well to a Brunch, Lunch or Dinner party. Prepare ahead for those busy days and pop it into the oven 45 minutes before your family dinner time. A side salad goes well with the peppers.

- Preheat oven to 450°. Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds, then place on a greased cookie sheet cut side down. Bake at 450° for 13-15 minutes. When peppers are browned nicely, removed from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a sauté pan, heat olive oil and add onions and spices. Sauté onions until they have a nice brown color, about 5 minutes. Add lamb and cook until meat is no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
- To the sauté pan with the onions and meat, add the chicken broth, ½ of the lemon juice and couscous. Stir well and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, immediately turn it down to low and cover. Let it sit covered for 4-5 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste as well as the remaining lemon juice, toasted pine nuts and ½ of the feta.
- Turn roasted peppers cut-side up, and fill with mixture. Be generous when filling, and overflow the top of the pepper a bit. Top the filled peppers with the remaining feta. Return peppers to oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until feta is slightly melted. Serve warm with a side of cold tzatziki.
