Ingredients
|
|
|
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
|
|
|
2 tsp ground cumin
|
|
|
2 tsp ground coriander
|
|
1 pound(s) lean pork loin, four 4 oz boneless chops, 3/4-inch-thick each
|
|
|
2 tsp olive oil
|
|
10 oz uncooked whole wheat couscous
|
|
2 cup(s) fat-free chicken broth
|
|
8 1/2 oz canned water-pack apricot halves, unpeeled, chopped (or 8 fresh apricot halves)
|
|
|
1 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
|
Instructions
- In a resealable plastic bag, combine cinnamon, cumin and coriander. Add pork to bag, seal and shake until well-coated; allow to marinate 20 minutes. (Note: You may use a medium glass bowl instead, if desired.)
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook pork, turning once, until cooked through and an internal temperature of 160ºF is reached, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions using broth instead of water. Fold apricots and cilantro into cooked couscous and mix to combine. Serve pork over couscous. Yields 1 pork chop and about 1 1/4 cups of couscous per serving.
