Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 kg boned pork loin, with rind (see Notes)
  • 20g butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 82.50 gm white wine
  • 1 granny smith apple, peeled, chopped
  • 82.50 ml dried apricots, chopped
  • 82.50 ml pitted prunes, chopped
  • 82.50 ml fresh breadcrumbs
  • 82.50 ml slivered almonds, toasted
  • 40.00 ml fresh parsley, chopped
  • 9.20 gm canola oil
  • Salt
  • 42.00 gm pan juices (or oil)
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml plain flour
  • 191.25 gm chicken stock
  • 123.75 gm red wine
  • 8.00 gm brown sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 240C and weigh the pork to determine the cooking time (cook for 20-25 mins for every 500g).
  • In a frying pan, melt the butter until it sizzles. Add the onion and saute for 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender.
  • Reduce wine for 1-2 mins, then add apple, apricots, and prunes. Cook until tender for 2-3 mins. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let it cool.
  • Combine breadcrumbs, almonds, and parsley with the fruit mixture until evenly incorporated.
  • Place the pork on a cutting board with the rind side facing down. Slice through the thickest part of the pork, creating a flap without cutting all the way through.
  • Spread the filling down the middle of the pork. Fold the flap over to cover the filling and roll the pork tightly. Use kitchen string to tie securely at 2cm intervals.
  • Place the pork on a rack in a baking dish and generously rub with oil and salt to enhance flavor. Bake at high heat for 20 mins to achieve crispy crackling. Lower the temperature and continue baking for 50-55 mins until the juices run clear or are pale pink.
  • Heat the pan juices in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute the red onion for 8-10 minutes until tender and golden. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  • Combine the stock, wine, and sugar in the pan and stir until well mixed. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 minutes. Serve the sliced pork with the flavorful gravy and your favorite vegetables.
