Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1 pound pork loin chops
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 ¼ cups couscous
½ cup dried apricots, chopped
¼ cup green onions, chopped
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, hot pepper sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag. Add pork loin chops to the bag; seal and shake until well-coated. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated pork loin chops and cook until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
