Schweinebraten mit pflaumen und äpfeln is a traditional German dish that translates to roast pork with plums and apples. It's often prepared as a stuffed dish but in some variations the fruit is just cooked alongside the pork, which is where we've taken our inspiration - 'fruchtiger' simply translates to 'fruitier'!

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Water for the Jus
¼ tsp
Sugar
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.
Quarter, core and thinly slice the apple (no need to peel). Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).
Chop the prunes into 1cm pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
Meanwhile, pour the water for the jus (see pantry for amount) into a small saucepan on high heat. Bring to the boil.
Stir in the red wine jus paste, prunes and sugar (see pantry for amount), then reduce the heat to a simmer. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.
Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, stirring regularly, 3-4 mins. Once thickened, remove from the heat, cover and set aside for later.
Meanwhile, pop a large frying pan on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper.
Once hot, add the pork steaks. Fry until browned, 1-2 mins on each side.
Once browned, transfer to a baking tray and roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven. Set aside and cover with foil to allow the pork to rest.
Meanwhile, pop your (now empty) frying pan back on medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
When hot, add the cabbage, apple slices and garlic, stir-fry for 2 mins. Season with salt and pepper, add a splash of water, mix well and cover with a lid (or foil). Cook until just tender, 3-4 mins.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat. Add the wholegrain mustard, a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth.
When everything's cooked serve the pork with the mash and apple cabbage on the side.
Spoon the prune jus over the pork to finish (reheat the sauce first if needed).
