Sun Dried Pepper and Couscous Cannelloni
Sun Dried Peppers rolled and stuffed with fruity couscous.
Ingredients:
* 100g Couscous (500g)
* 2 x 50g Sun Dried Peppers
100ml olive oil
zest and juice 1 lime
75g apricots
½ small red onion, finely chopped
2 tsp ginger, finely grated
small bunch coriander, finely chopped
salt and cayenne pepper
HOW TO COOK IT

1.Rehydrate the sun dried peppers according to the on pack instructions.
2.Put the couscous into a bowl and cover with 200ml boiling water. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, or until the couscous grains have absorbed all the water. Fork though, recover and leave to rest for a further 2 minutes.
3.Transfer the couscous to a larger bowl, add ½ the olive oil, lime zest and juice and fluff the couscous up with a fork.
4.Finely chop the apricots and mix these with the couscous along with the onion, the grated ginger and finally the coriander. Taste and season a little more if necessary.
5.Drain the peppers, pat them dry and lay them out flat. Put each pepper half in between 2 sheets of cling film and roll over them with a rolling pin to make them slightly thinner.
6.Remove the peppers from the clingfilm and place skin side down on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, trim each pepper and cut in half to make eight even sized rectangles.
7.Take each pepper rectangle and place 1½ tbsp of the couscous mixture on the bottom half of the pepper and roll into a cylinder shape.
8.Place two cannelloni on each plate and serve drizzled with the remaining olive oil.
