Instructions: Place couscous in heat resistant bowl and pour the 2 cups water over it.

Mix well, cover the boil with a lid and let it stand for a minimum of 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Blanch the basil and parsley by dropping them into the boiling water for 10-15 seconds. Drain the herbs well and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the broth and garlic; process until smooth. Add the boil, salt and pepper; process just until incorporated. Fluff couscous with a fork to separtate the grains. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Add herb mixture and combine it well with the couscous. Sprinkle on red peppers and sunflower seeds and toss well.
