Instructions:

2. Cook the Onion:

6. Prepare the Couscous:
- While the tagine is simmering, prepare the couscous according to the package instructions.
- Typically, this involves boiling water, adding the couscous, removing it from heat, covering, and letting it sit for about 5 minutes. Afterward, fluff the couscous with a fork.
