    Pork with cider is a classic combination, but adding kumquats and marmalade give this dish an unusual sweet twist. Serve with mashed potato.

    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 30 minutes to 35 minutes
    • Total time: 40 minutes to 45 minutes 45 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    • 2 x packs 2 Waitrose British Pork Loin Steaks
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
    • 6 kumquats, thinly sliced
    • 300ml dry cider
    • 1 tbsp Waitrose Seville Orange Marmalade Thick Cut
    • 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Season the pork with freshly ground black pepper.
    2. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole and fry the pork steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until well browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the onion and kumquats to the casserole and fry over a low heat for 3-4 minutes until beginning to brown.
    3. Remove the fat from the pork steaks then return to the pan, pour over the cider and stir in the marmalade. Bring to the boil, stir in the sage and season lightly. Cover the casserole with a tight fitting lid and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear.
    4. Remove the pork steaks from the casserole and keep warm. Bring the cooking liquid to the boil on the hob and boil rapidly for 2 minutes to reduce it by half. Return the pork to the pan and heat through for 1 minute before serving with 100g mashed potato per person.
