Grilled Pork Chops w/ Berries and Couscous

Ingredients:
5t EVOO
1 small red onion
1 pint blueberries
2T sugar
1 lemon
salt/pepper
4 bone in pork chops (we used 2 for just the two of us)
1 box couscous
2/3 C parsley

Prep:
Pre-heat Grill.

While the grill is heating, heat 1t EVOO over medium heat; add onion and cook until soft (@ 10 min) stir in blueberries, sugar, lemon juice (from the lemon) and 1/2t pepper.  Simmer until thickened (@15 min)

Here is what the "compote" will look like once it's ready:

Brush the pork chops with 2t EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Grill (take about 25 min. on the grill for a thicker chop cut) and then let stand.

In a saucepan, prepare the couscous according to the package directions (instead of juice I used Water and instead of butter I used olive oil to make it healthier).  Fluff with a fork then add in parsley, lemon zest (from the same lemon) and 2t EVOO. Season with salt/pepper.

Spoon couscous onto plate.  Add the chops and any juices and spoon berry compote on top! :)


This dish was delicious and we LOVED the  blueberry compote- it's so good on chops!  The couscous comes in MANY different flavors and this was actually our first time trying it out so we used the original flavor.  While it was plain it was still delicious and we're anxious to try other flavors of couscous (this is like a mixture of gritz/rice and it's soo good!)

Happy Cooking!!!
