Apricot Pork With Herb Crust
I tagged this recipe to make as it sounded really yummy but I did not have any pork cutlets on hand so I made this with a pork loin which was delicious. I spread the jam over the loin and then topped it with the crumb mixture, placed it in an oven proof dish and poured the chicken stock in pan. I baked it for about 35 Min’s at 180 degrees C and it came out beautifully moist and tender. I loved the combination of the apricot jam with the crunchy topping for the pork and will look forward to trying this again with cutlets. To view original recipes please click here. I have made a few recipes by this chef and I have enjoyed them all so give it go.

Horseradish Dill Sauce
This recipe is by the same chef as the salmon and asparagus salad that I made and posted yesterday, I had tagged 2 of her recipes to try and this was the second one. I loved this sauce, I served it with a mix of seafood, but I think it would also be good with roast beef, or as a spread to spice up a sandwich. I had too much sauce so I saved the rest and ate it with some smoked salmon for breakfast the nest day. The only thing I did different here was to add some more horseradish just because I love it.
