Cooking Steps
1
- Add bulgur and half the Zesty Garlic Blend to the boiling water. Cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.
2
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice cucumber.
- Add vinegar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) apricot spread and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix.
- Add tomato. Toss to coat.
- Melt 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter in a medium microwaveable bowl. Add broth concentrate, remaining apricot spread and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water. Stir to mix. (This is your sauce!)
3
- Heat a medium pan over medium heat (large pan for 4 ppl).
- While pan heats, pat pork dry with paper towels.
- Season with remaining Zesty Garlic Blend, salt and pepper.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork. Pan-fry, flipping halfway, until golden-brown, 2-3 min.
4
- Add sauce mixture to pan with pork. Flip to coat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, flipping halfway, until sauce thickens slightly and pork is cooked through, 6-8 min.** (TIP: If sauce reduces too quickly, add water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
5
- Add cucumber and arugula and spinach mix to the bowl with tomatoes. Toss to coat.
6
- Fluff bulgur with a fork.
- Divide bulgur and salad between plates.
- Thinly slice pork.
- Top bulgur with pork.
- Spoon any remaining sauce from pan over pork.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The apricot glaze adds a delightful sweet and savoury touch, though some found the zesty garlic blend overpowering.
- Ease of prep: The pork cooking instructions helped many achieve perfectly moist chops, but some struggled with sauce consistency.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing the sauce separately for better thickness; add the sauce after searing one side of the pork.
- Portions: Several reviewers mentioned wanting more sauce, especially to flavour the bulgur.
- Texture: Some found the bulgur undercooked or granular; try adding extra water or cooking it longer for better results.
