Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin (trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch medallions)
2 apples (medium, cored and sliced)
1 onion (small, thinly sliced)
2 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried sage
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup couscous (uncooked)
1 cup water (boiling)
1 pound broccoli floret

Instructions

Prepare couscous: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup uncooked couscous with 1 cup boiling water. Cover and let stand for 5-7 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
While couscous cooks, steam broccoli: Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water (or microwave with a splash of water). Steam for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork medallions with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add pork to skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add sliced apples, dried sage, dried thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Return pork to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the pork with the apple mixture and heat through.
Serve the pork and apple mixture with couscous and steamed broccoli.

Notes

Cooked couscous and pork skillet store well in separate containers for reheating. Broccoli is best when reheated gently.
