1 c Minced red onion
1 c Minced red bell pepper
1/2 c Minced green bell pepper

-MINCE ALL ABOVE VERY FINE-
2 Garlic cloves, minced

The recipe in Cooking Light April 1997 issue used Feta, so I would
substitute either Ricotta or maybe any soft soy cheese.

1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan; stir in couscous. Remove from
heat; cover and let stand 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. In a nonstick pan
saute onion, peppers and garlic for 5 minutes until soft. Combine couscous,
onion mixture, cheese and remaining ingredients to a large bowl. Stir well.

2. In a non-stick an, place 1/3 cup couscous mixture shaping into a round
cake. Cook until golden brown.

I ate some cold the next day for lunch and they were delicious that way
too!
