Pork Sage & Apple Loaf

Pork Sage & Apple Loaf

serves 4
original day 1 1/2 syn
green 4 1/2 (add 6 syns if not using pork as a healthy extra)

2 Apples
2 Garlic gloves
2 Red onions
1 egg
681g lean pork mince
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1tbsp freshly chopped sage
salt and pepper
400g chopped tomatoes
4 tbsp mixed herbs
1 tbsp artificial sweetener

Preheat the oven to 190c/375f/gas mark 5. Line a loaf tin with baking parchment.

Prepare the loaf ingredients: peel, core and roughly grate the apples; crush the garlic; finely chop 1 onion and beat the egg. Place in a bowl with the pork, ginger, cumin, sage and seasoning and mix well. Spoon into the loaf tin and bake for 50-55 minutes until the loaf feels firm and set.

Meanwhile make the sauce: chop the second onion, place in a pan with the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Season well.

Slice the pork loaf, spoon over the tomato sauce and serve with vegetables or a large mixed salad.

The serving suggestion is salad but I did it with mashed potatoes and veg.
