COUSCOUS STUFFED TOMATOES
After one bite, this recipe will surely become a dinner staple during the summer months when ripe tomatoes are at their peak in flavour and are in abundance. If you're looking at a hectic schedule, this light entrée can be made a day ahead - just cover the stuffed tomatoes with plastic wrap before refrigerating. For the best-looking presentation, refrigerate the tomato shells and filling separately, and stuff the tomatoes just before serving. Garnish the finished dish with chopped fresh basil for a boost of garden-fresh flavour. You can substitute another bean like chickpeas for the Great Northern beans or swap goat cheese for the feta too.

Steps:
- Bring the water, 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon of the pepper to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato and reserve. With a spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, leaving a tomato shell. Save the tomato pulp for soups or sauces.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the zucchini, onion, bell pepper, and basil; cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and tomato sauce; cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the couscous, feta, and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper. Spoon about 3⁄4 cup filling into each tomato shell and cover with the reserved tomato tops.
- Yields 1 stuffed tomato per serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium pot, cook the couscous according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the pulp. You can save the pulp for another recipe (like tomato bisque!) or discard. Place prepared tomatoes in a rectangular baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the feta, garlic, oregano, lemon zest (if you don't have a zester or a microplane, try the smallest holes on your cheese grater), salt, and pepper. Add the couscous when ready and stir until well combined.
- Divide the couscous mixture among the 4 tomatoes (you may need to pack it in with the back of a spoon to fit it all).
- In a small bowl, toss the bread crumbs with the olive oil and sprinkle the crumbs on top of the stuffed tomatoes. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

COUSCOUS STUFFED TOMATOES
I started craving stuffed tomatoes for lunch today, but nothing already posted sounded really good. I got a lot of inspiration from all the various stuffed tomato recipes, went through my cupboards, and came up with this. Hope you enjoy as much as I did! The artichoke heart can either be fresh, from a can, or from fozen and thawed. This would make a lovely vegetarian lunch if you use vegetable broth, or even a lovely side dish for dinner.

HEALTHY COUSCOUS STUFFED TOMATOES
This is a really quick and easy snack. It is inspired from a recipe in Rosemary Conley's magazine, but I've changed a good few things that I think really enhance the flavours without adding any calories. These are very healthy if you are on WW or a low GI program. They are great as a healthy lunch or as a side for a cookout. I calculated calories at a mere 84 per tomato, with 2g fat, 14g carbs, 4g protein and 2g fibre but not sure what recipezaar will come up with.
