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.
