Cooking Steps
- Prepare the stock in a pot or saucepan.
- Transfer the couscous to the stock, cover and allow to stand for 8 minutes.
- Add the black garlic marinade and mix well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cut the eggplant lengthways into wedges.
- Scatter over half of the Middle Eastern spices and transfer to a heatproof bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap, then microwave on high for 4 - 5 minutes until completely soft.
- If any of the wedges are still firm, microwave for 1 - 2 more minutes as needed.
- Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over high heat. Fry the pork with the rest of the Middle Eastern spices for 2 - 3 minutes or until done.
- Drizzle with the honey, then turn off the heat.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the shallot and roughly chop the fresh herbs. Transfer all of this to a salad bowl.
- Cut the lime into six wedges.
- Squeeze one lime wedge per person directly into the salad bowl.
- Add some extra virgin olive oil as preferred and toss well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the couscous in bowls and arrange everything on top. Drizzle with the tahini sauce and garnish with the crispy onions. Serve the rest of the lime wedges alongside.
