Healthy, flavorful, and simple, this slow cooker Mediterranean pork with couscous is a perfect solution to a frazzled weeknight dinner.

I love when friends and readers of MKC send me recipes! It’s always fantastic to read about what other people are eating and loving, plus I have this weird hobby that consists of things like reading recipes, looking for recipes, begging for recipes.

I love me some new recipes.

This Mediterranean Pork recipe was sent to me by Clarissa, who is also the originator of this recipe and this recipe and if you’ve tried either of those and loved them as much as I have…well, this pork is bound to be a hit. (Thanks for the recipes, Clarissa!)

A total no-brainer in the preparation department, a myriad of delicious, fragrant spices are added to chicken broth and poured over a pork roast or pork chops.

Slow cooked to tender perfection, the shredded pork and lingering, tasty juices are served over couscous. Serve with sliced tomatoes and a steamed veggie and you have a complete meal.

Healthy, incredibly flavorful, and simple beyond words, this is a perfect solution to a frazzled weeknight dinner conundrum or even for a lazy Sunday afternoon when you don’t want to be slaving in the kitchen.

Make it! Love it!
