Heat grill to medium-high. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon into a medium bowl and squeeze in the juice (you should get about 3 tablespoons).

Add 11/4 cup boiling water, cover, and let sit until all the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, thread the pork and scallions onto skewers and grill until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Squeeze the juice of the zested lemon over the top; transfer to plates. 4. Fluff the couscous, then toss with the mint, parsley, cucumber, and feta. Serve with the pork skewers.
