Pork Loin with Apricot Chutney

This is a classic combination of pork with something fruity. The simple chutney is an easy way to add a little zip to the same old pork loin. Also try it with chicken, or lamb or even stir it into plain rice and it will add life!

Ingredients

1 cup dried apricots
¼ cup red pepper (small dice)
¼ cup red onion (small dice)
1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
¼ cup raw cashews
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ ¼ cup water
Pinch of cinnamon
6 pieces sliced pork loin
Salt, pepper & paprika to taste

Directions

Put the apricots in a small bowl and pour enough boiling water to cover. Let sit 10 minutes and then strain the water, cool apricots and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
Pre-heat a medium sized cast iron or non-stick pan on medium heat. Spray the pan with olive oil and add the peppers and onions. Sauté until onions begin to brown then add the garlic and cashew and sauté 1 minute more.
Add the rest of the ingredients including the apricots.
Reduce heat to low and Ccook for 10 minutes. Once until most of the liquid is evaporated and the chutney is nicely thickened set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Season pork loin with salt, pepper and paprika. Cook on a grill or roast in a pan on both sides until lightly browned and then transfer pork to the oven. Cook through or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads 155°F.
Serve with chutney and your favourite veggies and enjoy.
