Method

1. Place couscous in a heatproof bowl. Stir in boiling water. Cover with plastic food wrap, and stand for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

2. Meanwhile, spray a frying pan with oil. Heat over high heat. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Add ½ cup of the orange juice and cook for 2 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.

3. Once the couscous has absorbed the liquid, use a fork to fluff and separate the grains. Pour into a bowl and add carrot mixture, almonds, spinach and lemon juice. Mix well and season to taste.

4. In the frying pan, cook pork, in 2 batches, for 1 minute each side or until browned and cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate. Cover with foil and rest for 2 minutes.

5. Add garlic, mustard, golden syrup and remaining orange juice to the pan. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes or until reduced by half. Return pork to the pan and coat with the sauce.

6. Serve pork on a bed of couscous, drizzled with remaining sauce from the pan.
