Cooking Steps
In a large saucepan, add the water and chickenstyle stock powder and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
Roughly chop the capsicum, tomato and baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. In a small bowl combine the Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and toast until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a second small bowl and set aside. Return the frying pan to a mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the capsicum until tender, 4-5 minutes.
Add the capsicum, tomato, baby spinach and a generous squeeze of lemon juice to the saucepan with the cooked couscous. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste. Mix well and set aside.
Cut the pork loin steaks into 1cm strips. In a medium bowl, combine the Tunisian spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the pork strips and toss to coat. Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pork, tossing, until browned, 2 minutes. Season to taste.
Divide the couscous tabbouleh between plates and top with the Tunisian pork strips. Serve with the zesty yoghurt and any remaining lemon wedges. Garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds.
