Background

Traditionally at Christmas time the centrepiece is usually turkey, goose or other large poultry, but this roast pork with prune & walnut stuffing can happily take pride of place on or around the day itself. The recipe here is perfect for just a small family and is great when served with all the usual festive trimmings.

Ingredients

175g pitted prunes
35g shelled walnuts
850g pork loin joint
2 Tbsp brandy
2 Tbsp Olive oil
3 Tbsp dried Italian herbs
2 Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 small onions peeled & thickly sliced
1 Tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 230°C. Mix together the prunes, walnuts and brandy in a bowl.
Cut a deep, wide "pocket" through the middle of the joint - try not to go all the way through - then push the stuffing firmly into it.
Mix together the oil, herbs & seasoning then rub it all over the joint.
Spread the onion slices over a small roasting tin and dribble over the 1 Tbsp oil
Place the pork on top of the onion Put into the oven for 20 minutes then lower the temperature to 175°C and cook for about another 60 minutes, basting occasionally.
Allow the joint to rest, covered, on a carving plate while you use the juices in the pan to create a delicious gravy!

Tips

Don't worry if some of the stuffing oozes out during cooking, just stir it in when making the gravy.
