Mediterranean Pork with Couscous {Slow Cooker}

Mediterranean Pork with Couscous is a slow-cooked boneless pork loin braised in a mix of olive oil, chicken broth, and Mediterranean herbs like paprika, sage, rosemary, oregano, and basil. The pork becomes tender enough to shred and is served with couscous prepared separately. The spice blend gives gentle earthy and aromatic flavors to the meat, complementing the light couscous base.
