Glazed Pork over Mango Couscous

Paired with Pinot Grigio

Description:

This recipe is fast, easy and elegant. The wine pairing may be unconventional, but the crispness of the Pinot Grigio is a great balance to the sweet heat of the glazed pork.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 lb pork tenderloin sliced into medallions ½“thick or 4 thin slice boneless pork chops
  2. 1 -2 cloves finely minced garlic
  3. ¼ cup peach & mango preserve
  4. 1 tbsp olive oil
  5. 1 tbsp soy sauce
  6. 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  7. ½ tsp dry mustard
  1. ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  2. Salt & Pepper to taste
  3. 1 box plain or wheat couscous
  4. ½ cup of fresh chopped mango
  5. 1/3 cup of green onions thinly sliced on a diagonal
  6. 1 tsp finely chopped mint leaves

Directions:

Wisk together in a bowl: garlic, preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, mustard, and cayenne pepper to form glaze. Bring meat to room temperature, lightly season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat pork with glaze. Grill on medium high heat. Continue to brush pork with glaze while grilling 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of pork. Prepare couscous as directed on box. Fluff couscous while adding mango and green onions. Spoon couscous onto serving platter, then place pork over prepared couscous and pour additional glaze over pork, sprinkle with chopped mint.
