Steps

25 mins

1

In a pot on medium heat , saute onions and garlic until onions become translucent, about 4 minutes.
2

In a small pot bring chicken stock to a boil. Remove from heat.
3

Add couscous, lemon zest, juice, salt, parsley to onion, garlic mix.
4

Add boiling chicken broth, cover and remove from heat.
5

Couscous takes 5 minutes sitting covered in pan to cook and absorb liquid.
6

Take a grill pan, I use a cast iron, brush with oil and heat it up on medium heat.
7

For best grilling results, let pork chops come to room temperature, pat off any liquid with paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper to your liking.
8

I did a simple seasoning to let pork flavor shine and enjoy the flavors of the couscous.
9

In hot grill pan, place chops on their sides, grilling for 3 minutes on each side.
10

After sides are grilled, place chop flat on grill and grill for 3 minutes each side.
11

Then turn chops to grill across the lines of grill plate, this gives you a cross hatch grill pattern. Plus chops are so thick they need the extra cooking time.
12

Take chops off grill and let rest 5 minutes.
13

Meanwhile, take a fork and fluff up the couscous as it clumps when absorbing liquid.
14

Plate chops, couscous and sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
