Glazed Pork over Mango Couscous
Created for Santa Margherita
Recipe by Debbie K., Santa Margherita 2009 Great Taste Challenge Finalist
4 TO 6 SERVINGS
| 1 | pound pork tenderloin medallions (½-inch thick), or 4 boneless pork chops, thinly sliced |
| Salt and pepper, to taste | |
| 1–2 | garlic cloves, finely minced |
| ¼ | cup peach and mango preserves |
| 1 | tablespoon olive oil |
| 1 | tablespoon soy sauce |
| 1 | teaspoon Worcestershire sauce |
| ½ | teaspoon dry mustard |
| ¼ | teaspoon cayenne pepper |
| 1 | box couscous (plain or wheat) |
| ½ | cup fresh mango, chopped |
| 1/3 | cup green onions, thinly sliced on a diagonal |
| 1 | teaspoon mint leaves, finely chopped |
Bring pork to room temperature, lightly season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk the garlic, preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire, mustard, and cayenne pepper to form a glaze. Lightly coat pork with the glaze, then grill on medium-high heat. Continue to brush pork with glaze while grilling, 3 to 5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness).
Prepare couscous as directed on the box. Fluff couscous while adding chopped mango and green onions.
Spoon couscous onto a serving platter, place pork over prepared couscous and top with additional glaze. Sprinkle with chopped mint and serve.

I increased the cayenne a little for a little more kick. It works really well with the mango.

Wheat couscous makes this a hearty and satisfying fall dish.

I only had peach preserves (no mango...) and it worked just as well. Very quick and easy.

i didn't have couscous so i substituted it for orzo... fluffy couscous would have been better, but the flavors were so wonderful that no one even noticed
