Stuffed peppers - What would you put with them to make a meal?

MIL has very kindly sent one each over for dinner tonight (she overenthusiastically made lots and they need eating) but I have no idea how to bulk them out for a full plate. They are full of some cous-cous-y type thing.

Could do some bread. Some salad, maybe? I agree they are filling but

A) I am breastfeeding and have the appetite of a horse and
B) DH will look at them askance after a hard day at work and ask me what the hell his mother was playing at and where is the rest of it.

Looking online suggests mash which seems a little heavy to me.

do you mean one pepper between you or two. If it was one half each you will STARVE if bf. I always overcater but would probably serve then with some kind of beany/meaty/cheesey thing or an omellete and a green salad

Salad and maybe some roast potatoes if you're really hungry. I might add some cheese to the top of the stuffed pepper too. Maybe some green beans?

I would make potato wedges, or mashed potato, and serve them with greens/a salad. I often make them and we have them with the aforementioned. I have a great big hungry farmer to feed and the combination of the above fills him up. Mind you, I do tend to do 2 peppers per person, so 4 halves each and each half stuffed iyswim.

Lucky you - I love stuffed peppers! Especially when they have cheese grated over the top and then in the oven to go all melty and bubbly! Delicious!

I like them with new potatoes (boiled or roasted) and salad.

I like them served alongside grilled chicken, drizzled with lemon and freshly ground black pepper over the lot... Yum!
