Recipe Summary Moroccan-Spiced Pork Chops & Fruity Couscous

I love pork and Moroccan flavors. Serve the pork chops on top of the couscous.

Ingredients | Pork Loin Chops

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

1 pound pork loin chops

2 ½ cups chicken broth

1 ¼ cups couscous

½ cup dried apricots, chopped

¼ cup green onions, chopped

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ cup cilantro, chopped

Directions

Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, hot pepper sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag. Add pork loin chops to the bag; seal and shake until well-coated. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated pork loin chops and cook until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in couscous, dried apricots, green onions, turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Turn heat to low; cover and let simmer until liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork and stir in cilantro.

Harissa may be used instead of tomato paste and Tabasco sauce.
