Harissa Spiced Roast Pork Recipes

GRILLED MOROCCAN SPICED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY HARISSA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, coriander, cumin, paprika, salt and olive oil. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork tenderloins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for high heat cooking. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook until browned and nicely marked, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the tenderloins and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of each registers between 155 degrees F and 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes longer. Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve hot or at room temperature with Creamy Harissa Sauce.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, oil, harissa and garlic until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

HARISSA PORK WITH GLAZED CARROTS AND COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous, and lightly toast, stirring until the butter is evenly distributed, about 1 minute. Stir in the raisins and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth. Bring the chicken broth to a simmer, then cover and remove from the heat. Let rest until the broth is completely absorbed, about 10 minutes. Gently fluff the couscous with a fork. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and fold in the parsley and almonds.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, lemon zest and juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until a glaze has formed and coats the carrots, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and rinse the skillet.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and heat the olive oil. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and cook the shallots until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the rice vinegar, harissa, pork jus (if using), remaining 1/3 cup chicken broth, remaining 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer and reduce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Nestle the pork slices in the sauce, flipping to coat both sides. Let the pork warm through, about 5 minutes. Serve with the couscous and glazed carrots.
