The middle boy found this recipe online and asked me to try it. I needed to make some adjustments to make it work with the herbs and spices we had in the cupboard. It turned out amazing and will be back on the dinner table again at some point in the near future.
Firstly, I sprinkle 1 tbsp of the garam masala onto a plate and rolled the pork fillet in it, to cover it completely. I then heated the oil in a frying pan and browned the pork all over. Finally, I wrapped it in tin foil.
I chucked the butter into a roasting tray on the hob and sizzled the shallot, cut side down for about 5 minutes until it had started to char. I then added the pork fillet (still in the tin foil) and cooked it in a preheated oven (220/200 degrees) for 20-30 minutes. Once cooked I turned the oven down and removed the pork and shallots, put them on a plate and kept them warm.
Using the tray on the hob again, I added the flour and stirred for a short while before adding the wine and cooked until almost no liquid was left. Finally, I added the stock and remainder of the garam masala and simmered to make the sauce. To serve, I cut the pork into thick slices, cut on the diagonal. I placed the apple slices on a plate and placed a piece of pork on top, I then served the remainder on some domino-style potatoes, before placing two pieces of shallots on the place. Finally, I poured the sauce over the top
