MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK ROAST
Serving a gorgeous, fancy-looking holiday roast doesn't have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. This pork loin proves exactly that. This is fast, easy, and affordable, but when you bring it to the table, it looks like a million dollars. The beautifully warming and aromatic spices really work so well with a pork roast - I hope you give it a try soon!

Steps:
- Butterfly the pork loin by cutting almost all the way through, starting on the thinnest side, keeping your knife flat and parallel to the cutting board. Stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge you started, so that the meat opens up like a book. A few more shallow cuts can be made if the pork is not opening up enough to flatten out, but do not cut all the way through, otherwise you'll end up with two pieces.
- Season the butterflied pork on both sides with kosher salt and let sit out at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a roasting pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel.
- Mix cumin, coriander, ginger, black pepper, smoked paprika,cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and honey together in a bowl with a spoon. Spread about half of the spice mixture inside the butterflied pork, fold it back together, and spread the remaining mixture all over the surface. Use 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen string to tie the loin up every few inches, cutting off extra string.
- Toss potatoes, carrots, chile peppers, and onion with olive oil and salt in a bowl.
- Place the pork into the prepared roasting pan and surround with vegetable mixture.
- Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loin reads at least 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 63 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn roast over with tongs in pan drippings. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Toss vegetable mixture in pan drippings and return to the oven to crisp up, about 10 minutes.
- Combine yogurt, mint, and garlic in a small bowl for sauce.
- Remove strings on roast. Slice, spoon pan drippings over, and serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce.

MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK CHOPS AND FRUITY COUSCOUS
When I first found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website, I was amused by the idea of a Moroccan dish featuring pork as most of the natives I know from this country are Muslim. Though I will never serve this dish to them, I love the flavors of the marinade and have made some changes that make this truly delicious.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the coriander in a small bowl with the garlic, sumac, oil and 2 tbsp water, then blitz using a hand blender until smooth. Rub a quarter of it all over the pork, then put the pork on a large baking tray and sprinkle over the paprika.
- For the couscous, rub a drop of oil over the red onions and aubergine, then scatter around the pork. (If your tray isn't large enough, use two.) Roast for 25 mins. Check the pork and if it isn't cooked but the vegetables are, take the vegetables out of the oven and cook the pork for another 10-15 mins until the juices run clear.
- Meanwhile, cook the couscous following pack instructions, then drain and tip into a bowl with the remaining garlicky herb mixture. Add the spring onions, cucumber, lemon zest and juice, extra virgin olive oil and mint. Quarter and stone the apricots. If ripe, add the apricots to the salad bowl, but if a little firm, add them to the tray in the oven first to cook for 10 mins until softened.
- Set the pork aside to rest. Add the roasted red onions, aubergine, apricots and almonds to the couscous and toss everything together. Slice the pork, serve half with half the couscous, and chill the rest for another day to eat cold. Will keep chilled for two to three days.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan, add the onions and cook gently for 5 minutes until they soften. Stir in the Quorn and spices (unlike meat and poultry, Quorn doesn't need to be browned), then add the apricots and stock. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and cook gently for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make up the couscous following the packet instructions - it will take about 450ml boiling water to give it a nice fluffy texture. Fork through the lemon zest and mint. Season to taste.
- Spoon the couscous onto serving plates, pile the Quorn mixture on top and scatter with the cashews.
