Steps:
- Mix together the pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the pork tenderloin.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the pork tenderloin down the center of the skillet. Cook the pork, flipping occasionally and keeping it in the center of the skillet, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- While the pork cooks, toss together the ginger, carrots, lemons, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to one side of the pork tenderloin in the skillet and then add the carrot mixture, spreading it out in an even layer. (Leave the other side of the pork empty.) Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook until the carrots are bright orange and just start to become tender, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the couscous, apricots and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Add the couscous mixture and 1 1/2 cups water to the empty side of the skillet. Pile the spinach on top of the carrots, cover the skillet and cook until the couscous is fluffy and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork has reached about 150 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and slice. Serve with the carrots and couscous.

MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK CHOPS AND FRUITY COUSCOUS
When I first found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website, I was amused by the idea of a Moroccan dish featuring pork as most of the natives I know from this country are Muslim. Though I will never serve this dish to them, I love the flavors of the marinade and have made some changes that make this truly delicious.

SPICED PORK CHOPS II
This is based on Joan MacKinnon's really great 'Spiced Pork Chop' recipe, modified based on numerous reviews from others and trial and error. This is my current favorite version for empty nesters (i.e. two servings). The gravy is optional but very tasty. It is important to use the size pan indicated so that wine sauce can spread out and evolve. I find the gravy is better if not too thick. Also use milk if you want a thinner gravy.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality pork chops. Look for chops that are thick and juicy, with a good amount of marbling.
- If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use pre-ground spices. Just be sure to use fresh spices, as old spices can lose their flavor.
- If you don't have Israeli couscous, you can use regular couscous or another type of small pasta.
- Be careful not to overcook the pork chops. They should be cooked through, but still juicy and tender.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This spiced pork chop with Israeli couscous is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are flavorful and juicy, and the couscous is light and fluffy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
