Ingredients
Method
Using a spoon, scoop out the middle of each tomato, leaving 1/4-inch flesh around the outside.
Finely chop any large pieces and transfer to a large, nonreactive bowl, along with any accumulated juices. (Transfer hollowed out tomatoes to a platter, cover and set aside at room temperature.)
To the chopped tomato, add couscous, vinegar, 1 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper; stir well, cover and set aside at room temperature until couscous is tender, about 1 hour.
Fluff couscous mixture with a fork and then stir in garbanzo beans.
Spoon into tomato halves, garnish with remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and serve.
