Ingredients

1.6kg boneless loin of pork, rind on, scored

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons sea salt flakes

roast potatoes

Apricot, fetta & pistachio stuffing

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium (150g) onion, chopped finely

2 cloves garlic, crushed

¼ cup (35g) pistachios, chopped coarsely

1 cup (70g) fresh breadcrumbs

1 egg, beaten lightly

⅓ cup (55g) finely chopped dried apricots

75g drained fetta, crumbled

¼ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

Step 1

To create the stuffing, heat half the oil in a medium frying pan; cook onion and garlic, stirring, until onion softens. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in remaining ingredients. Season to taste; cool.

Step 2

Open out the pork and place on a board, rind-side down. Slice through the thickest part of the pork horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Open out the pork to form one large piece, press the stuffing along the width of the pork. Roll pork to enclose stuffing, securing with kitchen string at 2cm intervals. Rub remaining oil and salt over pork rind.

Step 3

Preheat air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Taking care, place pork, rind side up in the air-fryer basket. Cook, uncovered, for 40 minutes or until rind is blistered and browned. Reset the oven temperature to 160°C, roast for a further 30 minutes or until pork is tender (internal temperature 70-75°C is reached on a meat thermometer).

Step 5

Remove pork from dish, cover loosely with foil; stand 10 minutes before carving.

Step 6

Serve sliced pork with roast potatoes, if desired.

Fresh breadcrumbs are best made from slightly stale bread. If you only have fresh bread, leave slices on the bench for a few hours to stale. Process bread, with or without crusts, until coarse crumbs form.
