Method

1. Cut the pork fillet into strips about 3cm thick.
2. Place flour in a shallow dish.
3. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Heat olive oil in a flameproof casserole dish, over a medium-high heat.

8. Add the onions and carrots to the pan and cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

10. Add the stock and bring to the boil.
11. Turn the heat down, place the lid on top and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
12. Cut the apples into quarters and remove the core (leave the skin on).
13. Add apple to the pork and vegetables.
14. Stir gently and then replace the lid.
15. Continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until the pork is cooked through.
16. Remove the cloves and cinnamon stick.
17. Serve the tagine with a large green salad and couscous.
