Instructions
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and peel carrots; halve lengthwise and cut crosswise on a diagonal into ½-inch pieces. Strip thyme leaves from stems; finely chop leaves until you have 2 tsp (4 tsp for 4 servings). Halve, peel, and finely dice half the onion; thinly slice remaining half. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, honey, ¼ tsp chopped thyme (½ tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (You’ll use more thyme later.) • Roast until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2-3 minutes. • Add couscous; cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 10-20 seconds. • Add half the chicken stock concentrates, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4) and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes. • Drain any excess water if necessary. Stir in a pinch of lemon zest. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels. Place in a medium bowl; season all over with Fry Seasoning, half the flour (you’ll use the rest in the next step), ½ tsp chopped thyme (¾ tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in same pan over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add a drizzle of oil, remaining flour, and ¼ tsp chopped thyme (½ tsp for 4); cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. • Whisk in 1 cup water (2 cups for 4), beef stock concentrate, remaining chicken stock concentrates, and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide couscous and carrots between plates. Top couscous with pork and as much gravy as you like. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
