Cherry Tomato Couscous

Serves 4-6

3 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock if desired)

11/2 cups couscous

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half

1 shallot, minced

¼ cup fresh basil leaves, cut into slivers

¼ cup pinenuts, toasted

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Salt and pepper

In a large saucepan, bring the stock to a boil- immediately remove it from heat. Add the couscous- stir and cover. Let the couscous stand for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat.

Add the shallot and tomatoes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until the vegetables soften.

Add the pinenuts, basil, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fluff the couscous with a fork and transfer to a serving bowl. Add the tomato mixture and stir gently. Sprinkle with feta cheese. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
