3. Transfer them to a baking dish with the fat from the pan and cook in a preheated moderate oven 180°C (350°F) Gas Mark 4 for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender.
4. Meanwhile, melt half of the remaining fat in the cleaned out frying pan and fry the onion and garlic until softened.
5. In another pan, melt the remaining fat and fry the mushrooms until tender. Drain all the vegetables.
6. Heat up the bechamel sauce and stir in the sherry, cream, lemon rind, salt, pepper and mushrooms.
7. Arrange the chops on a warmed serving platter.
8. Surround with the onion and green pepper and pour around the sauce.
9. Place an apple ring on each chop and put half a prune in the centre.
10. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
11. Note: If no spiced prunes are available, soak prunes in cold tea until they are plump, then drain and simmer with a little sherry and sugar until the prunes are nicely glazed.
