Slow-cooked pork with Israeli couscous

The Ingredients: pork

6 pork loins

1/4 cup dried figs

1/4 cup dates

1/4 cup maple syrup 

1/2 cup miso 

1 cup water

Mix the miso, maple syrup and water in a slow cooker. This should be a nice, salty-sweet juice. Turn the heat on low. Trim up the pork loins of any fat and dice into small cubes. I used kitchen shears for this- very quick and easy! Add the pork to the mixture and let cook on low for 3 hours. 

The Ingredients: couscous

1 box of Israeli couscous

2 tbsp olive oil

6 mini bell peppers 

1 shallot

cumin

coriander

paprika

salt

Coat a pot with olive oil. Throw in the couscous and sautée. Chop the shallot and mini bell peppers (make sure to remove the seeds!) and sautée with the couscous until golden-brown. Add spices and salt and water. Bring to a boil. The couscous will absorb all the water like rice. When pork is cooked, serve over the couscous. Enjoy!
