Harissa Pork With Glazed Carrots And Couscous Recipes

HARISSA CARROTS AND RANCH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. (See Cook's Note.)
• Put the carrots in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Place the carrots on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, harissa, cumin, garlic, lemon zest and black pepper in a small bowl. When the carrots are almost cooked, brush with the harissa glaze. Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving plate, then drizzle with additional harissa glaze. Follow with a drizzle of ranch dressing, then sprinkle on the pistachios and a pinch or two of flaky salt. Serve and enjoy!

HARISSA CARROTS AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the carrots and cauliflower with 3 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil until tender and charred, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Sauté the garlic in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, 1 minute. Stir in the coriander and cumin.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and harissa; toss with the vegetables. Season with salt.

PASTURE-RAISED PORK WITH COUSCOUS AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Couscous: Bring broth and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a medium pot. Add couscous and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and couscous is al dente, about 8 minutes more. Remove from heat, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, spread in an even layer, and let cool, 10 minutes.
• Roasted vegetables: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes and carrots with olive oil; season with salt. Spread in a single layer and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet.
• Pork: Raise oven heat to 425 degrees. Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Swirl in safflower oil to coat. Add pork and brown on all sides, turning as needed, about 12 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until a thermometer inserted in middles registers 140 degrees, about 11 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 15 minutes before cutting into 1/2-inch slices.
• Salad: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 2 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a large bowl, add tomatoes and herbs, and toss to combine.
• Add couscous, roasted vegetables, and harissa to salad; toss to combine. Season with salt. Arrange couscous mixture on a large platter and top with pork. Serve, with extra harissa on the side.

HARISSA-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the chicken breasts dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper and transfer to the prepared sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, harissa, vinegar and garlic in a small skillet. Whisking constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to whisk until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter.
• Spoon half the glaze over the chicken and bake until beginning to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush on the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes more.

HARISSA-SPICED ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Mix together harissa, thyme, lemon zest and juice, and vinegar for marinade.
• Mix salt, paprika, and pepper for dry rub. Stir 1 tablespoon dry rub into marinade. Place pork, skin side down, in a large roasting pan; pour marinade over pork. Flip pork; with a sharp knife, score skin (but not meat) in a diamond pattern at 1/2-inch intervals. Pat remaining dry rub over skin. Cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before roasting, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cover pan with parchment-lined foil, and roast pork until fork-tender, about 5 hours. Remove foil from pan, and roast 30 minutes more. Raise temperature to 425 degrees, and roast until skin is deep brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and tent with foil. Let rest 45 minutes before carving. Serve with harissa-spice barbecue sauce.

STICKY GLAZED PORK WITH SPRING ONION COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Mix the mustard with the honey and enough orange juice to loosen, then smear all over the steaks. Preheat the grill until hot and line the grill pan with foil. Grill the steaks for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked, brushing over any excess glaze.
• While the pork is grilling, tip the couscous and spring onions into a bowl. Spoon the oil into the stock, pour onto the couscous and stir. Cover tightly with cling film and leave for 5-6 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
• Fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir in the tomatoes, then season. Spoon onto a warmed serving dish and top with the steaks and any pan juices.
