Grecian Pork
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp oil
- 8 oz pickling onions
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
- 1/2 pint inexpensive red wine
- 1 level tsp salt
- Pepper
- 7 1/2 oz can of prunes
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- Chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid.
- Leave the pork in one piece and cook quickly in the hot oil until golden brown.
- Lift it out and keep on one side. Lower the heat, add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook slowly for about 5 minutes to brown.
- Pour in the wine and boil quickly for 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.
- Lower the heat, return the pork to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer very slowly for 20 minutes.
- Remove the stones from the prunes and blend the prune juice and flour to a smooth paste.
- Remove the pan from the heat and cut the pork into slices about 1 in. (2.5cm) thick.
- Blend in the flour and prune juice and stir quickly to make a smooth red sauce.
- Add the prunes to the pan, return to the boil and simmer very gently for a further 5 minutes. If the sauce has reduced too much in simmering and is too thick, add a little water to give a light, coating sauce.Taste and check seasoning.
- Turn the pork into a warm serving dish and sprinkle with parsley.
