Preparation
Roast the tomatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a small pot (or kettle), bring 2 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) to a boil. In a large, high-sided, oven-safe pan, add the tomatoes, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Roast, 5 to 7 min., until beginning to soften.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, crumble the feta. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Mince the garlic.
Make the skillet
When the tomatoes are beginning to soften, remove from the oven and heat on the stove on medium-high. Add the kale, garlic, white bottoms of the scallions, spices and S&P. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until the kale has wilted. Add the couscous, demi-glace and 2 cups of the boiling water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil and cover.
Bake the skillet
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, 8 to 10 min., until the couscous is tender. Uncover and top with the feta. Bake, 2 to 3 min., until the cheese is warmed through. Let sit for 5 min. before serving.
Sear the halloumi
Meanwhile, rinse the halloumi and pat dry with paper towel; thinly slice. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the halloumi and sear, 1 to 2 min. per side, until golden brown.
Plate your dish
Divide the skillet between your plates. Top with the halloumi. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Bon appétit!
