Pork Stuffed with Leek and Prunes
Course: Main
Skill level: easy Serves: 4
4 leeks, about 500 g (1 lb 2 oz)
2 tbs oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbs chopped sage
75 g (2¾ oz) fresh breadcrumbs
100 g (3½ oz) prunes, chopped
1 pork fillet, about
450 g (1 lb)
To Serve: roast potatoes.
1 Chop 2 of the leeks. Heat the oil in a frying-pan and fry these leeks with the garlic for
3 to 4 minutes. Add the sage, breadcrumbs and prunes and fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool.
2 Meanwhile, make a deep slit the length of the pork fillet; be careful not to cut all the way through. Butterfly the pork by opening up the sides. Place a sheet of clingfilm on top and beat with a rolling pin until thin.
3 Spread the leek stuffing over the pork and roll up from the longest side. Secure with 3 pieces of string tied at intervals along the pork. Place in a roasting tin and brush with oil.
4 Roast in the pre-heated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and cooked throughout. Rest for 5 minutes before cutting into thick slices.
5 Meanwhile, slice and pan fry the remaining leeks in the remaining oil for 4 to 5 minutes. Season and serve topped with the sliced pork and some roast potatoes.
