Ingredients

500g red cabbage , finely shredded
2 ripe pears , peeled and cut into chunks
small piece fresh ginger , grated
250ml vegetable stock
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
50g walnut , roughly chopped
450g pork fillet , trimmed of all visible fat
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp wholegrain mustard

Steps:

Put the cabbage, pears, ginger, stock and vinegar into a pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat. Cover, then gently cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 mins. Stir in the walnuts.
Split the pork fillet almost in half down its length, then open out like a book. Rub on all sides with the oil and smear with mustard. Grill for 15 mins, turning once, until the pork is browned and just cooked. Cover with foil, rest for 2 mins, then slice and serve with the cabbage.
