Base
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add yellow onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Add tomato paste, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens slightly and smells sweet, about 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Add pearled couscous and stir until well coated and lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

4. Pour in crushed tomatoes and water, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce to low, cover, and simmer until the pearled couscous is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes.
