About

Pork can be a dull and dry meat, but not so in this simply made casserole, which has a lovely fusion of flavours. Serve with potatoes or egg tagliatelle and a green vegetable, such as spring greens. Pernod, with its taste of aniseed, makes this much more than an ordinary casserole.

Ingredients

675-900 g/1½-2 lb boneless pork
100 g/4

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas mark 3. Slice the pork into largish pieces. Chop the prunes up fairly small. Melt the butter and olive oil in a flameproof casserole over a medium heat, then add the ground mace and stir for a minute. Next, stir in the pork, juniper berries and prune
