Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Remove mint leaves from half the stems (use all for 4 servings), then finely chop.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan.
- Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Add 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) oil to the same pan, then peppers.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.
- Transfer peppers to the plate with toasted almonds.
- In a small microwave-proof bowl, melt 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter. Add Harissa Spice Blend and half the honey (use all for 4 servings). Stir to combine. (NOTE: This is for your pork chops.)
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- When hot, add 1 1/2 tsp (3 tsp) oil, then add chicken. Pan-fry for 1-2 min per side, until golden. (NOTE: Cook in 2 batches for 4 servings.)
- Remove from heat. Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush harissa-honey mixture over top.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12, until cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter and broth concentrate.
- Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous.
- Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
- When done, fluff couscous with a fork.
- Meanwhile, to another small bowl, add mayo, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- To a medium bowl, add couscous, raisins, spinach, peppers, almonds, chopped mint and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Thinly slice pork chops.
- Divide couscous between plates. Top with pork and any remaining pork juices or remaining harissa-honey glaze.
- Drizzle creamy lemon sauce over top.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, prep and sear in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and sear pork chops, then increase the roast time to 10-12 min.**
