Cherry-Drizzled Pork Chops

Cherry-Drizzled Pork Chops

with Couscous Salad

A cherry on top isn’t just for sundaes: we’re using the fruit to dress savory pork chops in this recipe. You’ll be making a pan sauce that features both dried cherries and cherry jam for double the fruity fun. Make sure to get a little of it on the couscous salad—that sweetness is the perfect complement to the tartness of the lemons and tomatoes.

Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Bring 2 cups water to boil in a small pot. Halve, peel, and dice shallot. Zest and halve lemon. Halve grape tomatoes. Trim and thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Finely chop parsley.

Plump cherries
2

Place dried cherries in a small bowl. Pour over just enough boiling water to cover cherries (you’ll need to save 1 cup for later). Set aside.

Make couscous
3

Put couscous in a medium bowl. Stir in scallion whites, half the diced shallot, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour in 1 cup boiling water and cover. Set aside.

Cook pork chops
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. Remove and let rest 5 minutes.

Make pan sauce
5

Add remaining diced shallot to pan and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in stock concentrate, jam, and half of the cherries and their steeping water. Bring to a simmer and let bubble until reduced by half (TIP: the sauce is ready when it sticks to a spoon). Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and plate
6

Fluff couscous with a fork. Toss with grape tomatoes, scallion greens, lemon zest, remaining cherries, and juice of half a lemon. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice (to taste). Divide couscous between plates and top with pork chops. Drizzle with pan sauce and garnish with parsley.
