While couscous rests, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
