MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK CHOPS AND FRUITY COUSCOUS



Moroccan-Spiced Pork Chops and Fruity Couscous image

When I first found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website, I was amused by the idea of a Moroccan dish featuring pork as most of the natives I know from this country are Muslim. Though I will never serve this dish to them, I love the flavors of the marinade and have made some changes that make this truly delicious.

MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK ROAST



Moroccan-Spiced Pork Roast image

Serving a gorgeous, fancy-looking holiday roast doesn't have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. This pork loin proves exactly that. This is fast, easy, and affordable, but when you bring it to the table, it looks like a million dollars. The beautifully warming and aromatic spices really work so well with a pork roast - I hope you give it a try soon!

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
5 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons honey, or as needed
8 baby potatoes
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 Anaheim chile peppers, halved and seeded
1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint
1 clove garlic, finely crushed

Steps:

  • Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
  • Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
  • Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
  • Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
  • Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.
