Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Combine with the couscous, and thentoss with the chopped mint and parsley.
- Core the tomatoes, slice a tiny bit off their bottoms to create a level base, cut off their top 1/4 inch, and then seed them with a spoon. Drain the flesh and seeds in a colander, then chop and add to the couscous. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the tomatoes, garnish with the mint leaves, and serve.

COUSCOUS STUFFED TOMATOES
After one bite, this recipe will surely become a dinner staple during the summer months when ripe tomatoes are at their peak in flavour and are in abundance. If you're looking at a hectic schedule, this light entrée can be made a day ahead - just cover the stuffed tomatoes with plastic wrap before refrigerating. For the best-looking presentation, refrigerate the tomato shells and filling separately, and stuff the tomatoes just before serving. Garnish the finished dish with chopped fresh basil for a boost of garden-fresh flavour. You can substitute another bean like chickpeas for the Great Northern beans or swap goat cheese for the feta too.

Steps:
- Bring the water, 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon of the pepper to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Spoon about 3⁄4 cup filling into each tomato shell and cover with the reserved tomato tops.
- Yields 1 stuffed tomato per serving.

Steps:
- Halve each tomato horizontally, scoop out and discard the seeds, and with a grapefruit knife scoop out the pulp, reserving it and leaving 1/3-inch-thick shells. Sprinkle the insides of the tomatoes with salt and invert the tomato shells onto a rack to drain for 30 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the couscous and let it stand, covered, off the heat for 5 minutes. Stir the couscous with a fork, breaking up any lumps, and toss it in a bowl with the currants, the reserved tomato pulp, chopped, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the scallion, the dill, the mint, the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.

GREEN BELL PEPPERS STUFFED WITH TOMATO LENTIL COUSCOUS
This is a very beefy recipe for stuffed peppers, so be forewarned! We like to cut the peppers lengthwise, making shallow boats out of them instead of cups. Either way works well for this recipe.
