Apple and maple syrup may sound like ingredients for a breakfast or a baking recipe, but we’ve managed to work those flavors into a quick and simple pork dish. The maple syrup gets stirred into the sauce, coating each cutlet in sticky deliciousness. The apple, on the other hand, gives a fruity boost to the creamy side salad. And with hearty couscous to back up all those flavors, you’ve got nothing less than sweet, sweet perfection.

Wash and dry all produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Finely chop 1 tsp rosemary. Halve, core, and dice apple.
Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and ½ tsp chopped rosemary. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in ¾ cup water. Bring to a boil, then immediately stir in couscous and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand until tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large pan over high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.
Add remaining chopped rosemary, 1 TBSP vinegar (we’ll use more later), maple syrup, stock concentrate, and ¼ cup water to same pan. Simmer on medium heat until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 TBSP butter, then season with salt and pepper. Return pork to pan, turning to coat in glaze. Turn off heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and remaining vinegar. Add lettuce and apple. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Fluff couscous with a fork, then divide between plates. Top with pork. Drizzle with any remaining glaze from pan. Garnish with scallion greens. Serve with salad on the side.
