Make

Heat a saute pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans and saute until bright green, 2 to 3 minutes (if using frozen, just saute until defrosted, ~1 minute). Add fennel and saute until fennel is very tender and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and tomatoes (including liquid). Bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and simmer, covered, until green beans are tender, ~5 minutes.
Remove lid and stir in capers and white beans. Season with some salt and pepper.
If couscous was made ahead, reheat in the microwave (add a splash of stock or water if it seems dry).
Serve fennel, white bean and tomato saute over couscous. Crumble cheese on top. Enjoy!
