Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4. Place the medallions on a board between two sheets of cling film. Using the base of a small saucepan or rolling pin, bash them all over until 1cm thin.
Step 2
To make the chermoula, place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend to a slightly chunky purée. Place the medallions in a shallow dish and smear the chermoula all over.
Step 3
Meanwhile make the cauliflower couscous. Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it resembles couscous. Spread out on a non-stick baking tray and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring half way through the cooking time.
Step 4
During the last 5 minutes, heat an ovenproof or griddle pan for a few minutes until hot. Add the pork and cook for 3 minutes on one side. Turn the medallions over and place the pan in the oven to cook for a further 6-8 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
Step 5
Transfer the cauliflower couscous to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, chopped tomatoes and coriander.
Step 6
Serve the pork medallions with the couscous, a spoonful of yogurt and a fresh lemon wedge.
Some retailers stock jars of prepared chermoula paste.
