This recipe combines fresh and dried fruit to enhance the flavor of spiced pork.
Ingredients:
  • 2 (about 300g each) pork fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 20.00 ml finely grated lemon rind
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Moroccan Seasoning Mild
  • 500ml (2 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 380g (2 cups) couscous
  • 90g (1/2 cup) sultanas
  • 100g unsalted pistachio kernels, finely chopped
  • 40g butter, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red onion, cut into 2cm pieces
  • Olive oil, to grease
  • 1 large red apple, cored, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 2 small Lebanese cucumbers, halved, deseeded, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Combine pork, lemon rind, lemon juice, and Moroccan seasoning in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix well to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to marinate.
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring the stock to a boil. Take it off the heat, then mix in the couscous and sultanas. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the grains with a fork, then add the pistachios and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Prepare the salsa by mixing together apple cucumber, onion, and juice in a bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Skewer the pork and onion, then grill on a preheated barbecue flat plate or large frying pan over medium-high heat brushed lightly with oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for a perfect medium or to your desired doneness.
  • Arrange the couscous on individual plates, then place the skewers on top and spoon the salsa over them before serving.
