PORK LOIN STUFFED WITH DRIED FIGS IN FICKLIN PORT SAUCE
 
Boned pork tenderloin
2-3 lbs of dried figs
2-3 ounces of pureed dried figs
3-4 lbs of carrots, celery, onions, tomato, parsley, thyme and bay leaf
Bones from pork, beef or chicken
Dried thyme
3-4 ounces of roux or cornstarch
4-5 ounces of Ficklin Port wine
 

Using a long thin bladed knife, run a hole through the center of the loin. Toss the dried figs with a bit of salt and the dried thyme. Stuff the figs in pork loin. Chop the vegetables and place in the bottom of the roaster with the bones. Roast at 300 degrees for 1 to 1-1/2 hours adding a bit of consommé or water to avoid burning the vegetables. The roast is done when the juices run clear.

Remove the roast and deglaze the pan with consume or water or wine. Simmer for 45 minutes to extract the flavor. Strain the juice and press the vegetables to extract all the juice. Place the juice in a pan and skim to remove fat. Bring to boil then add pureed figs, roux and port, cook to thicken.

Serve 2 slices of roast on the sauce.
