Cooking Steps

Cook couscous
1
  • Add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and broth concentrate to a medium pot.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and let stand, 5 min.
  • When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Pick mint leaves from stems, then roughly chop.
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Melt 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter in a small microwavable bowl or a small pan over low heat. Add Harissa Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) honey. Whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is for your pork chops!)
Toast almonds
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add almonds to the dry pan.
  • Toast, stirring often, until golden, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer toasted almonds to a plate.
Cook peppers
4
  • Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan, then peppers.
  • Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a silicone brush, brush harissa-honey mixture all over chicken chops.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.**
