When the onion is cooked, stir in the couscous. Cover and heat through over a very low heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes.

To serve, mix the honey with the remaining lemon juice. Stir the herbs into the couscous and pile into warmed serving bowls. Top with the cheese and drizzle with honey and lemon.
