Pork Medallion stewed in Tomato Sauce and Herbs

A Happy Sunday to everyone! This Mediterranean fare of Southwest style couscous, homemade Pickled Asparagus and Pork Medallion stewed in Tomato Sauce and Herbs, will be served for tonight’s dinner. Having just completed a series of package designs for a line of North African ready to eat meals, couscous salad, being one of them, my curiosity was piqued, so I had set myself to do this to see how my family will take to it. My previous education about couscous came from an Indian friend, Saruj, who would come to Sonia’s house with a plate of this salad. Of course, I always get to sample it, being a constant fixture in her house, and I would say, it may be one of my favorite things to eat soon! Let’s see about this dinner and how it fares with my family!
