1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Method:

To make the stuffing melt the butter, add the onions and apples and sweat them without colour for 2-3 minutes.

At this stage add the freshly chopped herbs.

Combine with nice fresh breadcrumbs along with the nuts.

Season the mixture and allow to cool completely.

Butterfly the pork steak and Batten it out with a rolling pin., using a double layer of cling film covering the pork to assist you
Spread the stuffing out on top of the flattened pork steak.

Use the rashers to roll the pork steaks up tightly (like a roulade)-You can use a few cocktail sticks to stop the stuffing escaping during cooking but make sure to remove all the cocktails sticks before you serve.

Transfer to a flat baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the meat is nice and tender.

Serve with some honey roasted carrot & parsnips and crispy roasted potatoes.
