Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and core the apple.
- Dice the apple into small, even pieces and set aside.
- Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set them aside.
- Finely chop the spearmint.
- Grate the lemon zest if you haven't done so already.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apple, chopped hazelnuts, chopped spearmint, and lemon zest. Stir to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to make a deep incision or pocket in each pork fillet. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each pocket generously with the apple and hazelnut mixture.
- Use kitchen twine or toothpicks to close the opening of each fillet, securing the stuffing inside.
- Rub the pork fillets with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork fillets.
- Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet with the seared pork fillets to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, remove the pork fillets from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- Slice the pork fillets and serve with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the delicious, stuffed pork fillets hot!
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm apples for the stuffing to ensure a good texture and flavor.
- Toast the hazelnuts lightly before chopping to bring out a deeper, nuttier flavor.
- Preheat your oven before starting to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overstuff the pork fillets to avoid the stuffing spilling out during cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and rest for three minutes.
