This works well as a family dish as the children like the sweet and sour flavours. The pork is beautifully succulent and this recipe works just as well if you use turkey meat.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) mark 6. Heat half the oil in a flameproof casserole dish and cook the onions and carrots for about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Season the meat with black pepper, add to the pan in batches, and fry on all sides for 2-3 minutes over a hot flame.
- Mix together the orange zest and juice, tomato puree, vinegar, sugar, mustard and 400ml water.
- Pour this over the meat. Cover and cook in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Take the meat out of the oven and add the sultanas or raisins and plums. Continue to cook for a further 45 minutes or until the plums have collapsed and the meat is piping hot.
