Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Position 2 racks in the upper and middle thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 230°C.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the grapes with the sage leaves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Roast on the top rack until the grapes are shriveled and softened and the skins are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove a few sage leaves to use for garnish.
Meanwhile, sprinkle the pork with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin registers 145°F (63°C), 11 to 12 minutes. Set the meat aside to rest.
While the grapes and pork are roasting, place the couscous in a medium bowl. Add enough hot water to cover the couscous, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit until all the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Slice the pork. Place the couscous on a serving platter and top with the pork and grapes. Sprinkle with walnuts and sage leaves.
