Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a small pot (or kettle), bring 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) to a boil.
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Juice the lemon.
- Pick the sage leaves off the stems.
- In a shallow bowl, beat 2 eggs (double for 4 portions) until smooth.
- Place the flour in a second shallow bowl.
- In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko and S&P.
Cook the couscous
- In a large bowl, combine the couscous and boiling water.
- Cover and let sit for 5 min. Fluff the couscous; season with S&P.
Crisp the sage & cook the pork
- Meanwhile, pat the pork dry; season with S&P. Working one at a time, coat one side of the pork in the flour (shaking off any excess), then in the eggs (letting any excess drip off), then in the panko (pressing to adhere).
- In a large, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the sage and cook, 2 to 3 min., until crisp. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the pork*, breaded-sides down, and cook, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked. Flip and cook, 1 min., until seared. Transfer to the oven and roast, 7 min., until cooked through.
Cook the shishitos
- Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on high.
- Add the shishitos and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until blistered; season with S&P.
- Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Make the sauce
- In the same pan, heat the lemon juice (start with ½) and 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Cook, stirring often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until melted.
- Add the tomatoes and S&P. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until slightly warmed through.
Plate your dish
- Divide the couscous between your plates.
- Top with the pork and spoon the sauce over.
- Garnish with the sage and cheese.
- Serve the shishitos on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
