    Roast the peppers
    1 Roast the peppers

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Place the poblano peppers on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Roast 12 to 14 minutes, or until browned and blistered. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Set aside to cool at least 5 minutes.

    2 Cook the couscous & spinach

    Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the couscous, raisins, a big pinch of salt, and 3/4 cup of water; stir to combine. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, place the spinach on top of the couscous. Turn off the heat. Cover and let stand 6 to 8 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender. Stir until combined and the spinach is slightly wilted.

    Meanwhile, roughly chop the pickled peppers. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, combine the tahini, the juice of 2 lemon wedges, 2 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Whisk until smooth.
