Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil

500g pork fillet, sliced

2 shallots, finely chopped

3 tsp reduced fat crème fraîche

100ml chicken stock made with 1/2 stock cube

250ml medium cider (or 1/2 apple juice and 1/2 water)

1 tbsp redcurrant jelly

1 tsp Dijon mustard

16 prunes

2 level tsp cornflour

Crushed new potatoes, to serve

Carrots, to serve

Chopped parsley to garnish

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Cook the pork in batches until lightly browned all over. Transfer to a casserole dish.
2
Add the rest of the oil and shallots to the frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Mix the crème fraîche with the stock and add to the pan with the cider (or apple juice & water), redcurrant jelly & mustard. Heat until simmering, stirring to combine.
3
Add to the pork with the prunes. Cover and cook in the oven for 25 minutes.
4
Mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp water and stir in. Cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with the new potatoes and carrots, garnished with parsley.
