Ingredients

1 level tsp caraway seeds

1 level tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp lemon juice

1 1/2 level tsp brown sugar

1 x 1.1kg Asda Pork Loin Joint

1/2 tsp olive oil

2 x 335g jars Asda Extra Special Rich Onion Gravy

15g butter

2 tbsp sunflower oil

1 large onion, chopped

100g ready-to-eat dried apricots, chopped

200g fresh breadcrumbs

3 sticks of celery, finely chopped

2 tbsp curly parsley, chopped

115g walnuts, chopped

1 medium free-range egg

5 tbsp milk

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Arrange a rack in a roasting tin. Crush the caraway seeds lightly using a pestle and mortar. Or put them in a small bowl and crush them with the end of a rolling pin. Mix with the mustard, lemon juice and sugar. Spread thickly all over the meat of the pork but not the skin. Brush the skin with the oil.
2
Put the meat on the rack in the tin, skin side up. Pour 500ml water into the tin. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
3
Reduce the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 and cook for another hour. Leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
4
Melt the butter in a frying pan with the oil, add the onion and fry until soft. Tip into a bowl.
5
Add the apricots, breadcrumbs, celery, parsley and walnuts to the onion. Lightly beat together the egg and milk, and season with salt and pepper.
6
Add the egg and milk to the breadcrumb mixture and mix together to form a stuffing. You may need to add a little extra milk depending on the dryness of the bread.
7
Grease an ovenproof dish with a little butter. Put the stuffing in the dish and dot with butter. Bake alongside the pork for the last 25 minutes. Heat the gravy through and serve.
