Pork cutlet with orange and harissa

Ingredients (10)

  • 3 oranges
  • 2 cups (500ml) chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons (1/4 cup) finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 small pork cutlets, trimmed
  • 2 cups (400g) couscous
  • Olive oil, to brush
  • 1/3 cup (50g) pine nuts, toasted
  • Wild rocket leaves, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the zest from 2 oranges and place in a saucepan with stock. Set aside to infuse while you prepare the pork.
  • 2.
    Juice the 2 oranges and mix with the harissa, garlic and 2 tablespoons parsley. Add the pork and toss to coat well. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile: bring the stock to the boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and stir in couscous with a fork. Cover and set aside while you cook the pork.
  • 4.
    Brush an ovenproof frypan with a little oil and place over high heat. Quarter the remaining orange then cook the cut sides for 1 minute each. Transfer the quarters to a plate, brush the frypan with a little more oil and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the pork for 1-2 minutes each side, then return the orange quarters to the frypan and place in the oven for a further 5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.

    Stir pine nuts and remaining parsley into the couscous, then divide among 4 serving plates. Top with pork, drizzle with pan juices and serve with the orange wedges and rocket.
