Bacon-Wrapped Pork With Apricot Sauce

Ingredients:

***PORK***
4 pork fillets
16 dried apricots
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons grated root ginger
2 spring onions
2 teaspoons salt
freshly ground black pepper
8 rashers bacon
***APRICOT SAUCE***
2 small can apricots
2 teaspoons prepared garlic.
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 cup chicken stock



Directions:

For Pork: Cut pork fillets in vertically, then make a deep slit lengthways through each pork piece.

Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Chop apricots finely and mix into breadcrumbs with the ginger. Wash spring onions and chop finely, including some of the green. Add to the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Fill the slit in the pork with stuffing mixture.

Derind bacon and wind a rasher around each pork piece to keep stuffing in place. Place in a baking dish and bake at 420 F for 15 - 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Serve with Apricot Sauce.

For Sauce: Mash apricots with garlic, cardamom and cumin. Simmer with the stock for 5 minutes.
