For the pork

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Combine the za’atar and some olive oil in a small bowl. Add the pork fillet and toss until the pork is well coated in the za’atar. Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the za’atar pork fillet and sear for 1 minute on either side. Place the pork onto a baking tray and place in the oven for a further 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to rest.

For the jewelled couscous

Place the couscous in a bowl and boil some water (the water has to be double the amount of your couscous so for example: 300ml of water for 150g of couscous). Pour the water over the couscous, add a dash of olive oil and a good grind of salt and pepper then stir with a fork and cover the bowl tightly with glad wrap, leave to sit for 5-10 minutes. Remove wrap and then begin to fluff the couscous with a fork. Now stir in the currants, almonds and freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest.

To serve

Slice the pork fillet on the diagonal into 1cm thick slices and divide between plates, serving with a side of the deliciously sweet jewelled couscous and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
