Instructions

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 250°. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Place cherry tomatoes, cut side up, and onion wedges on baking tray. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Bake until caramelized, sticky and sweet, about 2 hours.

2. Meanwhile, bring stock to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous, and simmer 6 minutes. Remove from heat; cover, and let stand until all of the stock is soaked up, about 10 minutes. Spread couscous on a large, clean baking tray to cool.

Step 3

3. Combine olives, chopped herbs, cooled couscous and roasted onions and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and remaining ¼ cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, tossing to coat. Crumble feta over couscous, and serve.
