Cooking Time: 10 Minutes
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp olive oil
1 pound lean pork loin, four 4 oz boneless chops, 3/4-inch-thick each
10 oz uncooked couscous
2 cup 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:
1. 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.)
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook pork, turning once, until light pink and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions using broth instead of water. Fold apricots and cilantro into cooked couscous and stir. Serve chops on top of couscous. Yields 1 chop and about 1 1/4 cups of couscous per serving
