- Soak eight 8-inch skewers in water, at least 15 minutes. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Prepare the couscous as the label directs.
- Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers, sausage, onion and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Thread onto the skewers, alternating the sausage and vegetables.

Brush the skewers with some of the pesto and continue to cook, turning, until the tomatoes are tender and the sausage is charred, 6 to 7 more minutes.

- Cut the bell peppers into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Thread the skewers carefully: Make sure the sausages and bell peppers are tightly packed on the skewers so they don't fall off during grilling.
- Grill the skewers over medium heat: This will help prevent the sausages from burning.
- Turn the skewers frequently: This will help them cook evenly on all sides.
