4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Loin of pork weighing 3 1/2lb; bone out
3 Sprigs sage
4 ounces Stock; water or wine
4 tablespoons Rum
4 tablespoons Pineapple juice
1 small Onion; peeled
1 Mango; peeled
1 small Pineapple; peeled and cored
4 ounces Soft brown breadcrumbs
2 ounces Pine kernels
2 Cloves garlic; peeled and crushed
Salt and pepper

Directions

STUFFING

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas4.

Remove any excess fat from the meat and discard it. Finely chop any meat trimmings, together with the onion and fruit. Mix with the breadcrumbs, pine kernels, garlic and seasoning. Make a deep horizontal split the full length of the loin and open it out flat. Spread the stuffing over the meat.

Roll it up and tie at intervals, tucking back any stuffing which escapes.

In a heated non stick frying pan, fry the pork all over until well browned.

Place a sprig of sage on a rack (or crumpled foil) in a roasting pan of a size just to hold the meat. Place the meat on top, lay two sprigs of sage on top of the meat and cover it with the pork skin, from which the fat has been trimmed. Place in the top half of the oven and roast for about 2 hours, basting under the skin from time to time with the rum mixed with the pineapple juice. The meat juices should run clear when a skewer is inserted into the centre of the joint. If the juices are pink, the meat is not yet cooked.

Remove the pork from the oven and keep it warm. Skim excess fat from the roasting pan and then add a little stock, water or wine to the pan juices.

Boil and strain into a jug or gravy boat.

A gratin of potatoes or a sweet potato puree is very good with this dish, but so too is a dish of coconut rice and a dish of black beans.
