Ingredients

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (3/4 inch thick; about 2 pounds total)
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 peaches, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1 small red onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • handful of fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400° F. Bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil then add couscous, cover and remove from heat. After 5 minutes fluff with a fork and toss with parsley.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the pork with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the green beans, peaches, onion, vinegar, honey and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper to the skillet and cook, tossing, for 1 minute.
  • Return the pork (and any accumulated juices) to the skillet. Transfer to oven and roast until the pork is cooked through and the peaches are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the pork and peaches with basil and serve over couscous with a good spoonful of the pan juices.
