Lemon Herb Couscous With Grilled Pork Chops
- 1/3 cup dried couscous
- 1 1/2 cup boiling chicken broth
- 2 clove garlic, minced / 1/2 onion, small diced, 1 teaspoon oil
- 1/4 cup parsley, measured before chopped
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 boneless pork chops, I used ones that were 2" thick.
- 1 canola oil to brush on grill pan.
- 1 salt and pepper to taste
- 1 oz crumbled feta cheese
- In a pot on medium heat , saute onions and garlic until onions become translucent, about 4 minutes.
- In a small pot bring chicken stock to a boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Add couscous, lemon zest, juice, salt, parsley to onion, garlic mix.
- Add boiling chicken broth, cover and remove from heat.
- Couscous takes 5 minutes sitting covered in pan to cook and absorb liquid.
- Take a grill pan, I use a cast iron, brush with oil and heat it up on medium heat.
- For best grilling results, let pork chops come to room temperature, pat off any liquid with paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper to your liking.
- I did a simple seasoning to let pork flavor shine and enjoy the flavors of the couscous.
- In hot grill pan, place chops on their sides, grilling for 3 minutes on each side.
- After sides are grilled, place chop flat on grill and grill for 3 minutes each side.
- Then turn chops to grill across the lines of grill plate, this gives you a cross hatch grill pattern.
- Plus chops are so thick they need the extra cooking time.
- Take chops off grill and let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, take a fork and fluff up the couscous as it clumps when absorbing liquid.
- Plate chops, couscous and sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
