• Boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Toast Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with the boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer couscous, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain, then return couscous to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
• While couscous is cooking, roughly chop tomato and cucumber. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine ras el hanout, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork loin steaks and turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer garlic oil to a small bowl, then add Greek-style yoghurt and stir to combine. Season to taste.
• Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from the heat, then add pomegranate molasses and a splash of water. Turn pork to coat. Transfer to a plate, cover and rest for 5 minutes.
• Add tomato, cucumber, baby spinach leaves, chicken-style stock powder, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper to the couscous and stir to combine. • Divide Israeli couscous salad between bowls. • Top with pomegranate-glazed pork and any remaining glaze from the pan. • Dollop over garlic yoghurt to serve.
