Step 1

Wash and dry all produce. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot. Halve, Peel, and Mince shallot. Zest and halve Lemon. Halve grape Tomatoes. Trim, then thinly slice Scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Finely chop Parsley.

Step 2

Place dried Cherries in a small bowl pour over just enough boiling water to cover Cherries (you'll need to save 1 cup for the couscous). Set aside.

Step 3

Put Couscous in a medium bowl. Stir in Scallion Whites, half of the Shallot, and a pinch of Salt and Pepper. Pour in 1 cup boiling water and cover. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a drizzle of Oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Pat Pork dry with a paper towel. Season all over with Salt and Pepper. Add to pan and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side or until done

Step 5

Reduce heat under pan to medium and add remaining Shallot. Cook until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in stock concentrate, Jam, and half of the Cherries along with all of their steeping water. Give everything a stir to combine, then bring to a simmer and let bubble until reduced by half. (When sauce starts to stick to spoon it is done.) Salt and Pepper.

Step 6

Fluff Couscous with a fork. Add Grape Tomatoes, Scallions greens, Lemon Zest, remaining Cherries, and juice from one Lemon half to bowl and toss. Season with Salt, Pepper, and more Lemon. Divide Couscous between plates and top with Pork. Drizzle with pan sauce and garnish with Parsley.
