How to Make Apricot Pork With Herb Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Season pork loin (about 1 lb) generously with salt and pepper. Add pork to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
  3. Transfer the pork to an ovenproof dish.
  4. Spread 1/4 cup apricot jam evenly over the top of the pork.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the apricot jam.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup chicken stock into the base of the ovenproof dish.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and drizzling with the pan juices.
  10. Serve immediately with grilled or steamed corn on the cob.
