1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil.

Add pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Just before serving, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
