Israeli couscous is an appealing alternative to pasta or rice -- its grains are larger than those of regular couscous and have a pleasant chewy texture.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Israeli (pearl) couscous
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1 bone-in pork rib chop (6 to 8 ounces)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium; add garlic, and cook, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add couscous and raisins; cook, stirring, until couscous is lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season pork with paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. In a small nonstick skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium-low. Cook pork until browned and interior is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove couscous from heat; stir in broccoli, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; let stand, covered, until broccoli is warmed through, 2 minutes. Serve pork with couscous.
