Tomato and Bean Couscous

Did you know that couscous is technically pasta? It contains 1 ingredient: durum semolina, the same flour used for pasta, which unfortunately means it's not gluten free. This simple and delicious grain is like rice, but it cooks in just 5 minutes. Here, I'm softening an onion before adding in diced tomatoes and beans, giving my couscous extra bulk for my side dish
