* Drain Freekeh and cook for 10 minutes.
* Blend pine nuts, walnuts, oil, nutritional yeast and thyme in a food processor until it is a crumble consistency. Set aside.
* Add cooked freekeh, grated zucchini, crushed garlic, chopped spring onions, chopped basil, tomatoes and capers into a bowl. Set aside.
* Brush each capsicum half inside and out with oil and place onto prepared baking tray.
* Divide freekeh mixture evenly between capsicums, packing tightly as capsicums will soften during cooking. Season with salt and pepper. Top each filled capsicum with reserved nut mixture. Cover with foil and roast for 45 minutes (190°C). Remove foil and roast for a further 15 minutes (190°C) or until golden brown and tender.
