Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. Slice pork loin steaks into 1cm strips. • In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ras el hanout, 1/2 the tahini and 1/2 the garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. • Add pork strips and toss to coat. Set aside.
TIP: If you have time, let the pork marinate for 10-15 minutes to increase the flavour.
• Thinly slice white and light green parts of leek. • Heat a medium saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook leek, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. • Return the pan to medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. Add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• While the couscous is cooking, grate carrot. Slice lemon into wedges.
• Add the leek, carrot and a squeeze of lemon juice to the couscous. Drizzle with olive oil, season to taste and stir to combine. Set aside. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice and the remaining tahini. Drizzle with olive oil, season to taste and stir to combine. Set aside.
TIP: Add as much or as little lemon juice as you like.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a second small bowl. • Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot, use tongs to gently shake off any excess tahini mixture from the pork, then cook pork, tossing, until browned, 2-3 minutes. • Add the remaining tahini mixture and cook, stirring, until bubbling, 1 minute.
• Divide couscous tabbouleh between bowls. Top with tahini pork. • Spoon over any remaining sauce from the pan. • Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve with lemon yoghurt. Enjoy!
