- Salt to taste

Pour the chickpea couscous into a bowl and rehydrate it with water, and let it rest for 10 minutes. In the meantime, wash, dry and trim the courgettes, cut them in half and hollow them out with a teaspoon.
Set the pulp aside, then salt the resulting trays. Chop up the courgette flesh and set it aside. Then take the bowl with the couscous and crush it with a fork. Season with salt and the chopped courgette flesh, mix well and add the spreadable cheese, then mix again to combine.
Now take the emptied courgettes and fill them with the couscous mixture. Place the stuffed courgettes in an oiled baking dish and sprinkle the surface with breadcrumbs. Season the surface with a little extra virgin olive oil and bake in a static oven preheated to 200°C for 30 minutes.
