Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1 pound pork loin chops
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 ¼ cups couscous
½ cup dried apricots, chopped
¼ cup green onions, chopped
