Ingredients
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 4 pork chops, French trimmed and all fat removed
- 1 small red apple, cored and sliced
- 75g Stilton cheese, crumbled
- 4 small rosemary sprigs, to skewer
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 200˚C/fan 180˚C/gas 6. Lay out 3 slices of the prosciutto so they overlap. Repeat with the rest of the prosciutto so you have 4 piles.
-
Put a frying pan over a high heat. Season the chops well with salt and pepper, then sear in the hot pan on both sides. Place a seared chop on top of each pile of prosciutto. Divide the sliced apple and Stilton between the prosciutto piles, on top of the pork.
-
Wrap the prosciutto around each of the pork, apple and Stilton parcels to hold it all in place. Secure each with a rosemary sprig. Place the prosciutto parcels on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Serve with mashed potato and cooking juices from the parcels.
