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.

Steps


Combine harissa , cumin , coriander and 1 / 2 teaspoon cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag.
Add chops to bag , seal and shake until well-coated.
Marinate the meat for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook chops until cooked through , about eight minutes per side.
Bring broth to boil in a medium saucepan.
Add 1 / 4 teaspoon of cinnamon , turmeric and couscous.
Turn heat down to lowest possible setting , cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Fluff couscous and mix in the apricots and cilantro.
Serve chops on top of the couscous.
Cooking time includes the time to marinade the meat.
