Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • To a large pot, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Trim snap peas.
  • Peel, then cut half the onion (use whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining into wedges.

2
Cook couscous

  • Add couscous to the boiling water. Cook uncovered for 6-8 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
