How to Make Apricot Cumin Stuffed Pork For Two

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan/ Gas Mark 6).
2. Lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Set aside.
3. Slice the pork fillet in half horizontally, almost all the way through, but not completely. Open it like a book.
4. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the toasted cumin seeds and chopped apricots. Spread this mixture evenly along the center of the pork fillet.
5. Fold the pork back together to envelop the stuffing. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
6. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides for about 5 minutes, ensuring a good sear.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Loosely cover with aluminum foil.
8. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork is lightly pink in the center (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
9. Meanwhile, add the white wine and rosemary sprig to the skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
10. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
11. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before carving into slices.
12. Remove the rosemary sprig from the sauce. Pour any juices from the roasting skillet into the sauce and stir well.
13. Pour the sauce over the carved pork slices and serve immediately.
14. Enjoy your delicious and romantic meal!
