Wash the zucchini, cut off the top and hollow out the insides. Dice the flesh. Wash and finely dice the bell peppers. Peel and finely dice the shallots and garlic. Heat the oil in a pan and briefly sauté the vegetables. Add the couscous and sweat. Pour in the stock and let it swell for 5-10 minutes. Season to taste. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat).
