Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves.
Cook and stir for 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
Stir in ½ cup of sultanas (golden raisins) into the caramelized onions.
Gently fold the caramelized onion mixture into the couscous.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
