Cooking Steps
- To a medium pot, add broth concentrate, 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
- Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
- Fluff couscous with a fork.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Pick mint leaves from stems, then roughly chop.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- In a small microwavable bowl or a small pan over low heat, melt 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Add Harissa Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) honey. Whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is for your pork chops.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add almonds to the dry pan.
- Toast for 4-5 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Transfer almonds to a plate.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan, then peppers.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.
- Transfer peppers to the plate with almonds.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then pork. Pan-fry for 6-8 min per side, until golden. (NOTE: Cook in 2 batches for 4 servings.)
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a silicone brush, brush harissa-honey mixture all over pork chops.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 14-18 min, until cooked through.**
- Rest pork, covered, for 5 min.
- Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, add couscous, raisins, spinach, peppers, almonds, mint and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- In another small bowl, combine mayo, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) honey, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice pork.
- Divide couscous between plates. Top with pork.
- Drizzle creamy lemon sauce over top.
If you've opted to get pork tenderloin, sear in the same way the recipe instructs you to sear pork chops. Increase sear time to 6-8 min, then arrange on an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 14-18-min.
