DUTCH PORK CHOP

Assemble these supplies:

• 1/2 small dessert apple, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 teaspoon sultanas
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 x 175 g (6 oz) lean pork chop
• 2 teaspoons oil
• 150 ml (5 fl oz) apple juice

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes

Steps in preparation: 

1. Mix together the apple, sultanas, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
2. Cut a deep pocket horizontally in the pork chop and stuff with the apple mixture; any remaining mixture can be cooked with the chop. Secure the stuffing in the chop with a cocktail stick.
3. Heat the oil in a small frying pan and cook the chop for 1 minute each side to brown.
4. Add the apple juice to the pan. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning the chop once. Remove the lid from the pan, increase the heat and boil until the apple juice is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
5. Remove the cocktail stick and serve the chop with the sauce poured over.
