Prep all ingredients: chop red onion, kalamata olives and measure out the feta cheese.

Season the chickpeas with salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Add red onion, kalamata olives to the pan and cook until softened, 7 minutes.

Stir in feta cheese, fresh oregano and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the couscous according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 20 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over couscous, garnished with fresh herbs.
