1 1/2 cups couscous
Salt
Olive oil
2/3 cup boiling water
3 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, quartered
3/4 teaspoon brown sugar
Black pepper
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons roughly chopped oregano
2 tablespoons roughly chopped tarragon
3 tablespoons roughly chopped mint
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small green tomato, cut into thin wedges
3/4 cup red cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325F.
Put the couscous in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil. Pour over the boiling water, stir and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Set aside for 12 minutes, then remove the plastic wrap, separate the grains with a fork and leave to cool.
Meanwhile, spread the quartered vine tomatoes over half of a large baking pan and sprinkle with the sugar and some salt and pepper. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and some oil over the top. Place in the oven. After about 20 minutes remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 400F. On the empty side of the baking pan, spread the yellow tomatoes. Season them with salt and pepper and drizzle over some oil. Return to the oven and roast for 12 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and allow to cool down.
Mix together the couscous and fregola in a large bowl. Add the herbs, garlic, cooked tomatoes with all their juices, the green tomato and cherry tomatoes. Very gently mix together using your hands. Taste for seasoning: you might need to add salt, pepper and some olive oil.
