Preparation
Boil the orzo
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the orzo and boil, 9 to 10 min., until just tender.
- Drain and rinse.
- Return to the pot and toss with 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P to prevent sticking.
Roast the green beans
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender.
Cook & coat the pork
- Meanwhile, pat the pork dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the pork* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Add 1 tbsp butter, ¼ cup water (double both for 4 portions), the maple syrup, mustard and demi-glace.
- Cook, spooning the sauce over, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Plate your dish
- Divide the orzo between your plates.
- Top with the green beans and pork (slice beforehand if desired).
- Spoon the sauce over the pork. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
