Savory Pork Chops on Apricot Orange Couscous with Toasted Pine Nuts

I demo-ed Couscous last week at Costco, and the members went nuts - especially this kids!! So here is one from Near East with my revisions or additions denoted by *:
(serves 4)

1 package (5.6 oz.) Near East Toasted Pine Nut Couscous
1/2 cup raw pine nuts - toasted* (I found I wanted more Pine Nuts than were in the mix)
2 T. EVOO
1/2 small sweet* white onion, cut into thin strips (1 cup)
4 center cut boneless pork chops
3/4 cup OJ
3/4 cup water (or low sodium chicken broth*)
1/4 cup* sliced dried apricots
1/4 cup* golden raisins
2 cups sliced fresh spinach
Sea salt*
Freshly ground pepper

Heat oil in large skillet over med. high heat. Add onion; cook 4-5 mins. until softened and lightly browned.
Push onions to side of pan. Reduce heat to med. Add pork chops; season with S&P. Brown each side 4 mins.; remove pork chops from the pan and set aside - keep warm*. Add OJ, 3/4 cup water, contents of Spice Sack, pine nuts, apricots and raisins to pan with onions. Stir in spinach. Bring to a boil; stir in couscous. Return pork chops to pan. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 mins. Fluff couscous with a fork, and serve with pork chops. I would also grill some brocollini in olive oil with garlic chips and rosemary salt to accompany.

Editor's Note: I am renaming yesterday's Veal Loaf to Veal Piccata Loaf. It was Amazing!!!!!!!
