Ingredients
GLAZE
- 100g pistachios, chopped
- 60ml fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 20ml olive oil
- 60ml hoisin sauce
- 60ml honey
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, seeded and sliced
- 4 pork fillets, trimmed
- 10ml cracked pepper
- 20ml Maldon salt
- 20ml butter
- 40ml olive oil
- 2 red apples, thinly sliced
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 8 slices streaky bacon

Instructions
Mix the glaze ingredients together and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Place the fillets on a working surface and season well. Rub the glaze all over the fillets and pan-fry until cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
Melt the butter and olive oil in a frying pan and gently sauté the apple and onion. Remove and keep warm until needed.
Wrap a slice of bacon around four leeks. Sauté it in the same frying pan until the bacon is crispy but not burnt, about 5 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
Slice the fillet and place on a serving dish. Serve warm with the leeks and apple and onion slices.
