15 gm Demerara sugar
280 ml Boiling water
115 gm Couscous, up to 170
115 gm Dry apricots, diced
115 gm Sultanas
70 ml Dry sherry
15 gm Demerara sugar
1/2 x Egg, lightly beaten
2 dsp extra virgin olive oil

1
Prepare the pork fillet by removing any visible fat then slice down the centre and flatten out with a rolling pin till the pork fillet is quite thin.
2
Sprinkle with sherry and 1/2oz demerara sugar.
3
Pour the boiling water over the couscous and leave for 15-20 min till the couscous swells up and almost doubles in size.
4
It will absorb the liquid as it sits.
5
Mix together the diced apricots and sultanas, pour over the sherry and a sprinkle of demerara sugar.
6
Leave to sit for 15 min then mix together with the couscous, minced parsley and lightly beaten egg.
7
When well mixed, spoon over the pork, flatten down well and roll up from end to end.
8
Secure with string or possibly skewers.
9
Transfer to a foil lined dish, pour over a little oil, marinade of sherry and honey, add in salt and pepper and roast in the oven at 180C/350F/gas 5 for approximately 1 hour.
10
Again, the cooking time will vary with the thickness of the pork but allow at least 1 hour for the pork to be well cooked.
11
If the two are being sandwiched together with the stuffing then cooking time will be approximately 1 1/2-2 hrs.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
