Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade
These Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade are perfect for the grill. The marinade is made with a combination of miso, sake, mirin, yuzu kosho, scallions, and sesame oil, which gives the pork chops a rich and complex flavor. The yuzu kosho adds a bit of heat and brightness, while the miso and sake give the pork chops a deep umami flavor. My guests went crazy for these.

Lemon Saffron Israeli Couscous
I used to buy this Lemon Saffron Israeli Couscous mix in a box from a supermarket, which is now gone out of business. My daughter Zoe loved it, so I recreated it. Israeli couscous is different from the North African version, which has a more fine-grained, fluffy texture. Israeli couscous has larger, pearl-like balls that cook up with a chewy texture that is similar to pasta.
