2. Add the couscous and lemon zest to the warm chicken broth and let the whole thing simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Next, stir in the herbs (spring onions, mint, coriander), spices and apricot/almond mixture. Once everything is flavored and seasoned to your satisfaction, fill the peppers with the mixture.

4. If you wish you can  use the tops of the peppers as decoration.
