Directions
- First of all make the stuffing mix. chop the onion garlic and apricots finely (i use a food processor for this).
- Add the breadcrumbs, melted butter, herbs,orange zest, egg and seasoning and mix well.
- Next open out the tenderloin. Make a cut down the center to within a cm of the of the thickness. Open it out and make more cuts working out towards the edges of the tenderloin. This will allow you to flatten the meat out fully.
- Then spread the stuffing mixture onto the pork. When it is covered, roll the joint firmly from one side and tie with string.
- To start cooking:
- Heat the butter in an oven proof dish on top of the stove.
- Add the garlic and cook till well brown and then remove.
- Put the pork into the dish and brown all over.
- Put a lid on the dish and transfer to a pre-heated oven (170°C) and cook the pork for 88 minutes per kg.
- Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes to brown the joint.
- While the pork is cooking make the sauce.
- Put the water into a saucepan, add the jam and heat gently until the jam has melted.
- Add the curry powder and stir well.
- Serve with the pork and seasonal vegetables.
