CRAB AND COUSCOUS - STUFFED
PEPPERS
 
2 med. green peppers, cut lengthwise into halves, seeded & blanched
1 (8 oz.) frozen, thoroughly drained imitation crab meat, flaked
4 oz. Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c. diced onions (may steam onions to soften)
1 c. skim milk
1/2 c. couscous (or 2/3 c. instant mashed potatoes)
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 tsp. butter, melted

Drain blanched pepper on toweling. Combine crabmeat, 1 ounce cheese and remaining ingredients. Stir thoroughly and let stand for 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spoon 1/4 crab mixture into each pepper half. Sprinkle with 1/2 ounce of cheese. Spray 2 quart casserole and bake until stuffing is firm and cheese browned and melted, about 1/2 hour in oven, 15 minutes or less in microwave. Makes 2 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
