If you’re looking for a hearty weeknight meal that’s on the table in a quick 20 minutes, here’s a winner! You’ll season boneless pork chops with our warming Turkish spice blend, then pan-sear to a juicy finish. In that same pan, you’ll caramelize onion in butter with a shawarma-inspired spice blend of turmeric, cumin, and coriander, then add in tender cannellini beans, springy pearl couscous, and sweet peas for bright contrast. Serve that succulent spiced pork over a generous helping of loaded couscous, and your belly will thank you (over and over!).
