Preparation Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Ingredients (for 8 servings)
- Pork Fillet: 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs)
- Mayonnaise: 3 tbsp
- Mustard: 2 tbsp
- Pitted Prunes: 20
- Garlic: 2 cloves
- Salt: To taste
- Pinch of Cumin
Instructions
Soak the prunes in boiling water for 30 minutes. Peel and finely chop the garlic, then mix it with mayonnaise, mustard, and a pinch of cumin.
Rinse the pork fillet, pat it dry, and slice it crosswise into 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick pieces, stopping just before reaching the bottom to create a “book.” Place the prunes between the slices.
Generously coat the pork with the mayo-mustard mixture on all sides. Wrap it in several layers of foil and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Transfer the wrapped pork to a wire rack and bake for 1 hour. 15 minutes before it’s done, open the foil to allow the pork to develop a golden crust.
Useful Tip
Cover the plate of freshly baked Italian-style fish cakes with a large bowl to keep them warm until serving.
By the Way
When sifting flour for classic milk pancakes, hold the sieve higher over the bowl. This allows better aeration, resulting in smoother batter.
