Za’atar Roasted Chicken

with Saucy Tomato, Carrot Couscous & Cucumber Salad

15 min
Difficulty: 2/3
Turkish

We love the tart, nutty complexity of Middle Eastern za’atar seasoning. For this savory dinner, the spice blend adds depth to juicy roasted pork tenderloin that’s topped with a simple tomato-garlic pan sauce. A cucumber salad dressed in a bright, creamy lemon-dill yogurt dressing echoes the tangy notes in the spices, and the pork is paired with springy, buttery couscous studded with sweet carrots, crunchy almonds, and a garnish of fresh dill.

Preparation
1
Cook Pork

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. • Pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Za’atar Spice (all for 4 servings), a big pinch of salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a baking sheet. Wipe out pan. Roast on top rack until cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest. **Swap in chicken for pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest (no need to roast!). Wipe out pan.**

2
Prep

• While pork roasts, wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ¼-inch pieces. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Halve cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice into half-moons. Quarter lemon. Finely chop dill. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces.

3
Cook Couscous

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot (medium pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add carrots, half the garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in couscous, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and half the stock concentrates. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cover. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

4
Make Salad

• In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, yogurt, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), a pinch of salt and pepper, and as much dill as you like. Stir until fully combined.

5
Make Pan Sauce

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add tomato and remaining garlic; cook, pressing tomato slightly, until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add remaining stock concentrate and 1⁄3 cup water (2⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish & Serve

• Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in almonds and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • Thinly slice pork crosswise. • Divide couscous, pork, and salad between plates. Spoon pan sauce over pork. Garnish with any remaining dill and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side. **Thinly slice chicken crosswise.** ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
