30-Minute Roasted Pork with Grapes and Couscous
- 3 cups mixed black and green seedless grapes
- 10 to 12 fresh sage leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin, trimmed and patted dry (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/2 cup couscous
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
- Position 2 oven racks in the top and middle position, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the grapes and sage leaves with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake on the top rack until the grapes have shriveled and softened and the skins have browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pull out some of the sage leaves to use as garnish.
- Meanwhile, season the pork all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
- Add the pork and cook, turning as needed, until well-browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven, and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F, 11 to 12 minutes.
- Set aside to rest.
- While the grapes and pork roast, put the couscous in a medium bowl.
- Add just enough hot water to cover the couscous, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until all the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork.
- Slice the pork.
- Put the couscous on a serving platter, and top with the pork and grapes.
- Sprinkle with the walnuts and reserved sage leaves.
