  3. Slice tomatoes in half. Rinse and drain white beans.
  4. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Add sliced shallots, cook 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes, white beans, white wine and a little salt & pepper, cook 2-3 more minutes, or until beans are heated through and sauce is reduced.
  5. Divide brown rice couscous between plates and top with white beans and shallot-tomato compote. Enjoy the radishes on the side.

Season with salt & pepper to taste. Continue with next steps while couscous is cooking.
