Wash and dry all produce. Peel @carrots{4%unit} using a #peeler{}. Shave carrots lengthwise into ribbons. Cut @grilling cheese{16%oz} into 1-inch cubes. Zest 1 tsp zest from @lemon{2%unit} using a #zester{}, then cut into quarters. Melt 1 TBSP of the @butter{2%tbsp} in a #small pot{} over medium-high heat. Add @Israeli couscous{1%cup}, tossing to coat. Cook until toasted, ~{3%minutes}. Season with plenty of @salt{} and @pepper{}.

Pour 2 cups water into the #small pot{} with couscous and bring to a boil, then lower heat and reduce to a simmer. Cook until al dente, ~{8%minutes}, then drain using a #strainer{} and transfer to a #medium bowl{}. Stir in juice from one lemon quarter and a drizzle of @olive oil{6%tbsp}. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

While couscous cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add carrots and half the @harissa powder{2%tbsp}, tossing to coat. Cook, tossing, until tender, ~{4%minutes}. Stir in a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside off heat until couscous is done. After seasoning couscous, toss carrots into couscous in the #medium bowl{}.
