Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the couscous according to the package directions.
  2. Heat grill to medium-high. Rub the pork with 1 teaspoon of the oil and season with the oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  3. In a bowl, toss the broccoli rabe with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the pork, covered, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes.
  5. Fifteen minutes into the pork’s cooking time, place the broccoli rabe and lemons on the grill. Cook, turning, until the broccoli rabe is tender and the lemons are charred, 6 to 7 minutes.
  6. Fluff the couscous and mix in the pistachios. Slice the pork and serve with the broccoli rabe and lemons.

Quick Tip

Lemon used to relieve a sore throat
Grilling lemons intensifies the flavor of the juice, making it slightly smoky and more complex. Try grilling lemons alongside fish or chicken.

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
