About the dish

Svinestek med frukt is a traditional meat dish originating from Norway. The dish is usually made with a combination of pork loin, prunes, dried apricots, salt, pepper, butter, oil, lemon juice, and Granny Smith apples. The handle of a wooden spoon is pushed in through the center of the pork loin on both sides, and the meat is then stuffed with a mixture of chopped apples and boiled and soaked prunes and apricots. The loin is seasoned with salt and pepper, the ends are tied with a string, and it's then roasted in a large casserole over a little butter and oil. Once browned, a few cups of water are added to the casserole, and the meat is then cooked in the oven for more than an hour. The dish is typically served with green beans, lingonberry jam, cauliflower, or boiled potatoes on the side.
