Spiced Pork Chops with Scallion Couscous


Serves 4
Prep time: 2 minutes, Cooking time: 13 minutes

1 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup couscous
2 scallions, thinly sliced
4 lime wedges

1. Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with coriander, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Place in skillet and cook until done, 3-4 minutes on each side.

2. Meanwhile, bring broth to boil in medium saucepan. Add couscous, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Add scallions and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; fluff with fork. Serve pork chops with couscous and lime wedges.

Served with sauteed spinach.

Results: Super easy to make, and actually pretty good! Sometimes you need these simple meals for dinner. I've come to realize that I am the only person in our house who actually likes couscous, which is a shame, because this was a simple way to make it tastier.
