500 g pork fillet
60 g butter

2 tsp curry powder
2 tsp ginger grated
2 Tab apricot jam
2 Tab light soy sauce
1 Tab lemon juice

  • Melt butter in pan.
  • Add onion, curry, ginger, jam, soy sauce and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until jam is melted.
  • Place pork in greased shallow ovenproof dish in single layer. Pour sauce over.
  • Bake uncovered at 180C for approximately 25 minutes or until pork is tender.

Notes

Serve with steamed rice and broccoli. I make the same quantity of sauce even if cooking for two, as it’s delicious soaked up with the rice.

Another person char-grilled and poured sauce over.

Good for entertaining too.

Watch the sauce doesn’t dry up.
