1 Bake the Tomatoes
Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.
Pierce tomatoes with a fork. In one provided tray, combine tomatoes and 1 tsp. olive oil.Bake uncovered in hot oven until tomatoes soften, 8-10 minutes.While tomatoes bake, continue recipe. -
2 Sear Pork and Add Couscous
Pat pork dry and season all over with half the piri piri seasoning (use less if spice-averse; reserve remaining for sauce), half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for couscous), and a pinch of pepper. If you receive a whole pork tenderloin, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, slice into medallions, 3/4"-thick.
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add pork to hot pan and sear, 2 minutes on one side.Remove from burner. Transfer pork, seared-side up, to second provided tray.After 8-10 minutes, carefully remove tomatoes from oven. Add couscous, remaining garlic salt, and 1 Tbsp. water. Stir to combine. Spread into an even layer and cover with foil. -
3 Bake the Meal
Bake both trays (couscous covered, pork uncovered) in hot oven until couscous is heated through and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 6-10 minutes.
Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.While pork and couscous bake, coarsely chop dill.In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, remaining piri piri seasoning (to taste), and 1 Tbsp. water. Microwave until cream cheese softens, 45-60 seconds.Carefully remove bowl from microwave and tray from oven. Stir sauce until combined and smooth.To serve, top pork with sauce and garnish couscous with feta, dill (to taste), lemon juice, and almonds. Bon appétit!
