Moroccan Spiced Pork Chops And Fruity Couscous
When i first found this recipe on the weight watchers website, i was amused by the idea of a moroccan dish featuring pork as most of the natives i know from this country are muslim. though i will never serve this dish to them, i love the flavors of the marinade and have made some changes that make this truly delicious.
