  • 1/2 cup couscous
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Turn off the heat and stand, tightly covered, for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the oil and fluff up the grains with a fork. Stir in the herbs and season with freshly ground black pepper
  2. Cut the tops off the tomatoes, and scoop out the seeds and core. Pat the insides dry with paper towels
