Ingredients:

• 2 pounds boneless pork ribs
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup couscous
• 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the ribs from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
6. Return the pork ribs to the skillet, and pour in the chicken broth. Cover with a lid or foil and transfer to the oven.
7. Bake for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
8. While the pork is baking, prepare the couscous. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
9. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in lemon juice.
10. Serve the pork ribs on a bed of couscous, topped with the sautéed bell peppers, and garnish with fresh parsley.
